Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor and noted political cartoonist, Carlos Latuff, who shares the following illustrated radio listening report of a recent Radio Mitre broadcast.
Carlos notes:
Floods in Buenos Aires, Rádio Mitre, 790 kHz AM:
Part of Radio Mitre (Argentina) news bulletin (in Spanish) on the torrential rains that caused flooding in Buenos Aires, with a moving testimony from the mayor of Salto, Ricardo Alessandro. Listened in Porto Alegre, Brazil, on an Xhdata d-808 receiver.”Salto is one of the hardest-hit districts. The river reached over 10 meters and has already affected 9,000 people. Through tears, the mayor of that city, Ricardo Alessandro, said the flood was so fast that there was no time to do anything. ‘It rosed so fast that people didn’t even had time to get their clothes out of their homes in two hours. I didn’t even underestimate the flooding, but something happened that hadn’t happened before.Did you imagine how desperate it is? Look, I’m touched because the speed at which the water moves is incredible, it’s incredible.'”
