TRANSLATION:

Cesto Batisti:

"I had never suffered floods, only these last three. The first, in September, entered 40 cm (in my house), in the second the water has not entered and this one entered and ended everything."

Denise Purper:

"We are left without clothes, without furniture, without anything. The only ones that will be saved will be those dishes. Maybe we can recover some of the appliances, but the rest is in the pile."
