Limit situation what the inhabitants of Aldaia are experiencing after the passage of DANA. Lourdes, a resident of the town, burst into tears before the tragedy that the Valencian Community is experiencing with one of the worst floods in the history of Spain.
“It’s horrible. They didn’t warn us. The ‘pi’ alert… We heard a beep on our cell phone telling us not to leave the house and not to drive. What a flood is coming. All this water comes down from Utiel, from Chiva, from Cheste… Nobody saw it,” he said on LaSexta.
And the water, as he specifies, “reached two meters”: “We received it at 8:15 p.m. At 8:57 p.m. we tried to pry the door as best we could. We heard a noise and an avalanche of water was coming. “We ran.”
“I don’t understand. My daughter received an alert from the University of Valencia. She said that they should not go to class. It was Tuesday. That no students should come, that there was a red alert in Valencia. I don’t understand why they were informed. Not to university students and primary school pupils. Why not to workers. “Where does this alert come from, why don’t they inform everyone the same way” continuous.
Because the situation is desperate in an area where there is still no light in the streets: “The material doesn’t matter. It comes and goes. It doesn’t matter… But what about human lives? What about the people who died? There is no right. Where are the 500 soldiers? The 600? The 5,000? Look at Pilar, from Erasmus in Italy and she came to help us as soon as she heard the news. It’s the heart of Valencia.”
“There’s so much work… and parking, what will parking be like? There were people in those cars, for God’s sake… Couldn’t anyone have told them? I had to save people on the back patios. They almost drowned alive from there! No one saw the water all day? Nobody saw the water? » he concluded.
