60 mm's of rain hit us yesterday morning. My barrio overswam, nobody could go anywhere. The buses crammed, el subte stopped and traffic was chaos. The real danger, however, when water flows the streets and blurres the view are the holes in the ground (best bet: breaking a leg - worse: falling into it) and the electric cables with only one connection..
Apart from power-cuts, water-cuts and visits to the emergency-room, accompanying needy visitors, I am fine. The latest system-shortcut was "somebody" steeling all my T-shirts from the roof-top dry-lines. Back to dresses..
Then, realizing there is power in my block, and not in my neighbour's; we have tube-water, the rest have water on their floors.
The first day of crisis, Macri blamed the meteorologists. The second day, he blamed the farmers (!) in Gran Buenos Aires. Finally, when tornado struck, Uruguay was to blame for not stopping the storm.
The estate market is booming and the city is transforming. Take a look at the new emerging barrios VIP.
1. Palermo Amsterdam-Did you visit the aquarium at Juan B. Justo and Cordoba?
-No, but I went diving in the Maldonado viaduct.
The Europe cool - now in Argentina!
2. Caballito Hights
-I live on 34th floor. It's impossible to go out.
-Don't complaint, now you have river view.
In spite of the neighbours complaints of their hights, the towers now show their utility.
3. Belgrano Venice-It' so nice.
-I love tango.
-Pompeya (bad part of town), and further ahead, the flood.
The Republic of Belgrano now have their own fleet.
