SOUNDBITES OF: -LINDA VARGAS:“Vargas has been recovered by locals. People could recover their homes, their business thanks to their own willing. Many people migrated to other places within the country, many of them to Margarita, Caracas…” -JAIRO SUÁREZ:“Nowadays our house is still standing, we live in it. We are afraid when it rains, many people are traumatized, but thank God, we recovered (our house), but we’re always afraid because this gorge was blocked in the lower part. They are working on new parking spaces in the Stadium…” -ROSANA LÓPEZ:“They didn’t do it as they had to, especially regarding the white and black waters, because when it rains there’s a flood because they built the sewers in the wrong way and everytime it rains even a bit, there’s a flood.”
