Thanks to the history of comparative anatomy and my hobby by cemitas Puebla is that I witnessed, never seen before and unimaginable lluviesota last week. And is that a friend gave a lecture at the BUAP last week and decided it was a good opportunity to dine and hear mass. I got 9 and a half in the morning to TAPO (Bus Station) to meet all arrivals and departures were delayed as a result of the persistent rain throughout the night sheltering in the city. So buy a ticket for 10:30 because according arrive before the 10:00. We left at 11:30, and a bus from another company with mixed passenger all the times and an alternative route, supposedly to avoid the traditional route flooded usual. At 2 pm I went down eventually, but not in Puebla, but on Central Avenue to four metro stations from the original starting point. The east of the city lay under water then after 48 hours of continuous rain, which according to Alberto Hernández Unzon, National Weather Service meteorologist, never has happened since record rainfall. The funny thing is that only a few months after the founding of the University of Mexico in the summer of 1553 a shower of little more than a day left submerged capital of New Spain by the overflow of Lake Texcoco, exactly the same spot a few centuries later, my DH was trying to pass Puebla. And that was neither the first nor, obviously, the last of the showers chilangos. My mother had a flood in the early fifties in which he could not return home for hours until a guy with a taxi boat went down the street shouting Tacuba - Mexico Tenochtitlan alive! And taking a weight per passenger. Although the most feito was undoubtedly that of 1629. Caused thirty thousand casualties among the Indian population was the eviction of nearly twenty thousand English families and flooded the city for five years. In fact the king of Spain decreed that the capital moved to another site to recast, but for a change (and finally was re far) not peel, afotunadamente, and thus about 400 families lived on the second floor, did revens in roofs, hanging out in the boats to the captives and bridges between buildings became popular cruising sites. But like all good things are not forever, the waters receded, the rainbow came out and nobody knew where was the ark. What is that every year, sometimes more, sometimes less is chinampa city in a hidden lake. With all the drainage has always worked're up, it is just the bloody nature that we do not want. And to show the same day I heard that the director megachubasco water of this city, Ramon Aguirre (son), the drainage system worked well but that 48 hours of rain were heavy rains and saturated. The funny thing is that like 20 0 25 years I heard that the regent Ramon Aguirre (father) after terrible flooding, the drainage system of Mexico City was fine, the problem of seeing dozens of colonies under the water was that It had rained too much. The promises then were the same and decisions, always, the worst such as river tubing has in sight. It is high time to stop listening to themselves, to look beyond the next election, they do not decide based on a guy who sells pipe. At least remember that the College of Engineering, Alberto Kalach of the UIA, Teodoro Gonzalez de Leon and the UAM has developed projects to exploit the bed of Lake Texcoco, and keep this city continues eternally thirsty and perennially flooded. Always remember to bring a Dutch engineer a few years old to advise on water scarcity in the City. Arriving in the midst of tormentone diluvian tinged asked who received it, - so often it rains? Half a year "was the reply. "You do not have water shortage, what they have is lack of interest in drawing conclusions.
