The middle of Saturday (19) was despair for a family who saw the Alargi house in 20 minutes in Vila popular in Campo Grande. The property is located in José Barbosa Rodrigues, whose stretching is also known as Radio Maia.

The family of Geovana Antunes, in Vila Popular, Campo Grande, lived at times of despair when his house flooded only 20 minutes in the early hours of Saturday. Water even wet furniture and devices, forcing the family to consider the change. The region, near the Imagirruss stream, is known for frequent floods. A retired pereira brow, neighboring, has already built a house with a higher point to avoid floods. The area was reported 59.8 mm of rain that day.

Near the Imagirruss stream, the road has a flood history. But for the first time the saleswoman Geovana Antunes Martins Gomes Caranju, 28 years old, saw the water entering the house. He has lived in this place for a year and three months.

“It was literally the Miranda River. I woke up at 4 am, because it rained, at 6 am we got up and in 20 minutes it was already a wet part of the couch, fridge and bake. I started getting the boy’s backpack to prepare a escape plan,” says Geovana, who lives with her husband, son Joaquim (7 years old) and two dogs.

They intend to move after fear. “I just thought about climbing electronics, saving what I gave and I go here. Because we don’t know how far the water will get. An old neighbor who lives in the house below, even staffing to climb the furniture,” says health agent Marcos Vinícius Carvalho, 27 years old, Geovan’s husband.

In the next house, the 70 -year -old Braz Pereira Neto retired in terms of disability, reports that he lived in Vila popular since the 90s, but he had to build a different house at a higher time to escape from the flood.
