It dawns in Letur and the entire device is already underway. The deployment of special forces is brutal. Schools have become the operational center. I see it from the window of one of the houses in the upper area of the town where the families who live in the old town are welcomed. Passage is prohibited there.
Everyone is involved.
The flood has swept away everything it has passed through. All. He has divided the town in two from the White Cross (which is no longer there either). He has demolished the buildings, raised the roads, the gardens. The Canales (the natural pool) and so many other things no longer exist…
It is difficult to understand it without seeing it and it is difficult to see it without breaking down.
The meters and meters of rubble, of mud, the entrails of the open houses and the memories scattered throughout the streets.
You feel a strange relief when you arrive… Even if it’s to cry together. You look at each other and hug each other, without speaking
We finally arrived yesterday. I had been paralyzed for two days, it was difficult for me to even speak, with a terrible helplessness. Like all those who are far from the town.
I haven’t been able to sleep a wink but that’s also general.
You feel a strange relief when you arrive… Even if it’s to cry together. You look at each other and hug each other, without speaking. “Suddenly a wave came, like a tsunami, if it wasn’t raining so much here.”
You never think that those catastrophes you see on TV could affect your loved ones.
Letur, the beautiful water town of the Sierra del Segura. And one day, our life resource, bombards you like an enemy of war.
But a pain in the chest is above all. The real concern… And that is that five of our people are missing… And one of our neighbors has been fired.
In a town this small, what happens to one happens to all. We only want the unlocated ones to appear. That’s all.
Afterwards the people will rise, there is no doubt about that. Although it will never be the Letur of before, the new town will be rebuilt, even more beautiful, but with a deep scar.
It hurts to empathize with all the other places that are suffering, especially in the Valencian Community, which are neighbors and family and which are so often home to us.
Thank you to all of you who are caring and offering help. The truth is that it relieves. All the good is impressive despite the immense tragedy.
I hope all the aid that the institutions are promising arrives.
I hope people don’t forget when this stops giving audience.
Letur will once again be “the place of our recreation”, our “where”, our “then”. The aroma of fire, rosemary, thyme and lavender will return.
I assure you that the people of Leture have impressive strength.
They know what it is to resist and rise again.
