Residents of Malaga and surrounding areas spent the night without taking their eyes off the water level when they saw how much it rained. Among the population, there was great fear of a repeat of scenes like those we saw throughout the day on Wednesday with rafts of water reaching knee-deep in the capital. They saw each other heartbreaking rescues and rivers that overflowed, like the Benamargosa. But now, two others are worried.
During his visit to Benamargosa, one of the most affected towns, the President of the Government of Andalusia, Juanma Moreno, recognized that the risk continues to be serious in the region. banks of the Guadalhorce passing through Cártama after having risen almost three meters. This also continues to be the case in the Bank of the Guadiaro River border between Malaga and Cádiz. This is why we cannot let our guard down, since its chains continue to grow.
In the case of the Guadalhorce, near Cártama, emphasis is placed on the possibility that it exceeds four meters, as this would imply overflowing. Thus, the authorities are very aware of the Río Grande, located six kilometers away and which is heavily loaded due to heavy rains. Forecasts indicate another flood at 4:00 p.m. this Thursday.
It was precisely these inhabitants of the banks of the Guadalhorce who were expelled this Wednesday as a preventive measure They won’t be able to go home for now. However, those who are on the banks of the Campanillas River, in the neighborhood of the same name in the capital Málaga, will be able to do so.
This is how normality begins in the Andalusian province. The proof is its capital where stores have reopenedtrains arrive at their stations again and the airport is now operating as usual. Even the little ones will be able to go back to school this Friday.
However, there are points like Benamargosa where it will cost a little more. Early this Thursday, the sun rose in the city of Malaga where the cleaning and drainage work continues after a flood of water and mud reached up to two meters high overnight
