increased SALADO Yesterday ... Today ...
drought
Noting the fields, roads, cracked earth so dry, listening ... farmers with complications due to lack of rain ... my mind went back to those days of 2003 in Santa Fe: Santa Fe desolate as a result of growing extraordinary Salado River ...
Yes .. of the river that marks the eastern boundary of the Santo Domingo district, the river that at times becomes a recipient of hundreds of people looking for some freshness near the water, enjoying the peace and nature in hot summers area ... the same river that suddenly becomes the most destructive and threatening bravo ...
A paradox ...
In the terrible catastrophe that was experienced in the city of Santa Fe in 2003, was known through the media, and if anyone wants to know more, search the Internet, within minutes you will have the information you want.
But ... how to live through that time in Santo Domingo and neighboring towns?
I remember that April 27, National Election Day ... the river was swollen, very grown up and still climbing ... It was said that that afternoon the water cut off the only route to the city of Santa Fe, (there are others but and the water had covered before) ... Children in Santa Fe students, that Sunday was like every weekend at home with parents. The threat
the river, we speed and ask daddy to enable them to get to vote first and take them to careless towards the capital city before the water left us isolated.
The idea was to "protect them" from the isolation in which people would be as advertised, so you do not miss classes. Nobody could imagine that we were sending the worst of places ...
and achieve our objective, they came to Santa Fe ...
Hours later, as expected, all routes were overcome by the force of water.
Two
days later we heard that water had entered the city and moved with unexpected speed ... There called, runs between neighbors, we needed to know ... communications technology helped much ...
Our children-those who were not victims, it suddenly became nurses, cadets, and were moments that were never imagined would happen ...
The Powers to issue stopped attending classes and became home for the homeless, and students in real social workers ... And we, on the other side ... just waiting ... could get here by boat across several miles. Firefighters met both Prefecture as endless days.
The photos were shown as highways, as people traveled by boat, as milk production moved ...
In the urban part of Santo Domingo was no water, they stretched covering many acres of ...
We could travel hundreds of miles where one could see water around ...
Today ... we go through the same hundreds of miles and is just cracked earth, dry grasses ...
ever will understand that we must stop provoking nature with our destruction??
