Each year there is a ritual in Guanajuato – a kind of endurance test character – that's every year in May and lasts until the end of September. It is a ritual that is going on, well, the beginning of everything. E ', "La la Lluvia Temporada." This means that the rainy season.
What I mean is that the entire annual rainfall of Guanajuato, all 20 inches of him, fell from the sky in three or maybe three and a half months. This may be a greatOkay, but when so much rain in a desert climate of the mountains falls in a short time, it offers a potential disaster of biblical proportions.
The city of Guanajuato is located in a gorge of large canyons in an arid (desert), sitting in a mountainous area of approximately 6,700 meters, surrounded. What happens is that the rain flooded the area, fear sweeping the flora, fauna and many natives really (and for the welfare of indigenous peoples, aFew Spaniards for the ride aqueous).
Therefore decided the city government to a labyrinth of tunnels, in the hope that it will build to divert the flood. The idea was to wash – it does not work. After more screaming people ran for their lives in another rainy season, traitors, finally divert the river from the city center. This, to the delight of many people saturated with water, it worked. (The tunnels are now underground routes for vehicular traffic – more thanbelow).
Today the river about a block away on the steep streets in which we live. Oh boy! And there are still some problems of flooding, but not on the scale of the past.
The first year we lived here was bad, because many rural areas have serious problems. Although I have not heard of deaths, there were landslides that brought in big houses, ugly-looking holes, never to be seen.
Last year, a house fell in the middle of town, on a promontory, a fewStories because the rain weakened the mountain gave way. No one was hurt, thank God, and Mexico form rebuilt! These people are survivors. You do not get FEMA funds. This includes family and neighbors in the level, and the sweat of their brow and the work of their hands, reconstruction – survive!
During the off-season, the river is a river, a network, nothing. But as soon as the rain comes, I feel more anxiety attacks. Where we live, we can hear non-stopterrible roar. Looks like a lot of noise, we used to hear during the season back tornado in Kansas. It is downright nightmarish.
There is a small bridge that leads out of our driveway on the river and go palpitations every time to cross me. It is a race of brown, mud-filled water, with the level near the bridge reached. down, in fact, a bit "further down the road, he often goes on a bridge, basket and spread chaos on the main road.
II am tempted to ask whether our landlord never has the tide in which we live reached. However, they are too afraid to find out the answer. Egadi if so?
The rainy season is eight weeks and the days count. Meanwhile, I'm picking up the ark saved and ready to go.
Bon Voyage!
