We just lost our house.. 1.5 meters of water woke my mother in law up this morning. Torrential downpours inundated the neighborhood (Villa Urquiza) with no where to go...

Mom's next door neighbors are at the 30 second mark of the first video..

Thought it was the start of a good spring. So much for clearing my debt, and buying my JKU, We are looking at 10-20K in damages at least..

It's in Spanish, but it's the only feed I could find on the flooding this morning.. Mom woke up to over a foot, and was trapped int he house due to a fallen tree blocking the door. Water got as high as 1.5 meters (4ish feet) just toping the kitchen counters. everything on the first floor is a loss, TVs clothes, 2 bedrooms diningroom kitchen...

Mom is OK, my wife called the authorities in BA and had them rush to my mom's house, she is stuborn and didn't want to contact them to clear the tree, but my wife made it known that there was an elderly woman in the building with no way out if needed.
