This is the Virgen de los Altos Hills. He had a statue of more than 50years of history on the hill of the same name. The whole provincepilgrimage every February 11, the day to pray. But yesterday, after four days of heavy rains, a landslide destroyed.Disappeared, and not just Peña (locality where it was located)mourned his loss, if not the entire province. Here, I leave the reaction of the local media. Earlier, a picture of what it was that statue. You can see that three hours before the fall of the statue, the media and the reporting was going to happen soon. He knew it was goingto fall, was known to lose ... but were not sure when. Here we translate what the news channel said "Ostend News":"URGENT. Strong rain and landslides. DANGER OFCOLLAPSE." The next day, when the tragedy happened, this is the coverage that gave the most important newspaper in the region: "The Morning ofOstend." ►Title: "Peña lost his virgin in an avalanche." ►Subtitle: "The heavy rains weakened the hill on which rested the iconic sculpture. His downfall occurred just after 18:30. Wailing of the entire population of the province of Ostend." ►Title photo: "DIFFERENT VIEW. Our Lady of the Hills High was visible from the provincial capital." ►Full story. ►Section: "Great Ostende". All the news in the metropolitan area of ​​the city of Ostend. HEAVY RAINS IN THE REGION Peña regrets the loss of the Virgin in yesterday's runoff The statue was disbanded and the remains scattered in a radius of 5 square kilometers. The floods are already causing ten deaths and more than 5 000 evacuees. 10HS It was a day of dark clouds. The first landslide in the mountainous area of ​​Peña and cared for the people of this town west of the city of Ostend. The day remained gray and the rain did not stop for five hours: 140 millimeters of rain was the mark as the Weather Service. At 15hs, the city was in despair when the news began to run through the media: the statue of the Virgen de los Altos Hills was at risk, the mountain was weakening, and the historic sculpture could sell in a matter of moments. Practically there was nothing to do, according to firefighters. THE FALL. When the clock struck 18:32 HS, accurate, a roar shook the valley of Rock. Within seconds the hill began to subside, the earth began to move northward and the statue and looked on the verge of an abyss minutes ago did not exist. It did not take more than a minute, that the Virgin began to sway.People looked astonished as at any time more than 50 years of history fall down the slope. Many people were moved to tears, and other hit a scream as the Virgen de los Altos Hills fell, broke into several pieces and disappeared into the woods. The population of the province mourns the loss. FOUR DAYS. The rains in the province of Ostend not stop for four days. The heavy river floods and streams, high winds and traffic accidents due to wet roads and follies already caused at least 15 deaths in the last 72 hours. Eight of the victims died when the minibus they were traveling in was swept away Santa Victoria River, near the falls. Greetings from Argentina.

After a long time without updating back with a bitter note. I decided to create a tragic fact also devising national media coverage.Here what happened. CAUSES A TRAGEDY IN RIYADH LOMA PRIETA Loma Prieta is a town of 10,000 inhabitants located over the riverand reliever Victoria River Victoria from the dam located 4 milesupstream. On 3 December last, in a hot afternoon in this city south of the province of Ostend, people are preparing to return to their homes in the midday break before returning to work during the afternoon. At 13 hours, a loud bang in the town feel. A passer-known in town to present a small mental deficiency, runs along the main avenueto the cries of "THE DAM COMES DOWN, IN DANGER" Because they are psychic, no one believed in the village until at 13:07 a furious mass of water entering the city destroying what we find along the way. Within seconds the swell of more than 8 meters north to southmending to Loma Prieta dragging everything in its path. People,cars, houses, businesses, crops, electrical towers, bridges and trees were swept away like toothpicks. More than 80 people died, there are 35 missing, 9,800 homeless, lost 15 billion dollars. POSTCARDS FROM THE TRAGEDY ► Dam Cracks and leaks a few minutes before its destruction. ► Aerial view after the tragedy. You can see the flooded area ► Center Sector.

The Big Bang Theory ... big serie!

Hello! After a while without updating, I return with another major city in the region of Ostend!. WELCOME TO AUSTRAL! The city is located right in the Delta Ostende, when it flows into the Austral Ocean. This village annexed other locations but due to its growth. The city is a strong commercial and port exponential: it is landlocked. That's why the city has great shopping aera with towering skyscrapers. As mentioned before, thecity emerges on a delta, not only forthe unstable soils (problem solved with animportant law of architecture), but the downtown isbuilt on islands, these connected by many bridges. We walk?. ► Views of the night. ► Downtown ► Part of the city was assigned toresidential development. As a result, residentialbuildings are that the population is of 56,000 sims. ► Bridge of Nations. It is a roadbridge connecting the two shores of Austral, down on two islands. ► Terminal Railway Station "Austral Central" ARGENTINA

5 miles east of Victoria Falls, the dam and reservoir will find Santa Victoria. It is accessed through National Route 20, then a detour road to the dam wall. The dam is just down the waterfalls are located 2 miles up. The stored water is used to supply the northern part of Southern and all Victoria Falls. It also generates power for the southern region of Ostend. ARGENTINA

Today we are going a little south of the region of Ostend. We will come to a beautiful city inhabited by 11,257 sims. The city known as Victoria Falls is located 182 kilometers (113 miles) southeast of the city of Ostend and 67 kilometers (41.6 miles) southwest of Austral. Located at the foot of the mountain ranges Loma Pietra, Victoria Falls is crossed by the river is south Victorica. At the center crosses the river Fell. Founded in 1867, when the Spanish discoverer Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca has chosen to back a settlement near his latest discovery: Victoria Falls, which occur when the river falls Victorica on a cliff 69 meters high. Is composed of nine different jumps. Seven are in the Upper Falls and the other two in the Lower Falls. To keep them, decided to create the National Park Victoria. ► Check for the sole road leading to it: the National Route 20. You can see the welcome sign carved in wood. ► Overview of the city, you can see the National Park, waterfalls and mountains ► Local airfield. ► Addition to the airfield, you can see the adjacent neighborhoods and the river crossing Fell under. ► On the other hand, at the weather, storms are common throughout the year. But in summer even more. You can see the cloud that announces the next rain. ► As it rains, the river rises. It is common on many occasions the aerodrome has to be closed because the river crossing Fell grows under the cover so that the runway and hangar flooded. VICTORIA NATIONAL PARK It was created in 1958 with the aim of protecting this area. Given the way the cliff, and its similarity to the Iguazu Falls between Argentina and Brazil, are called "The Iguazu of Ostend." ► Camping at the park entrance. ► Overview of the sector falls. ► One viewpoint where you can see all the jumps. On environmental issues, not try to build bridges for closer access to the falls. ► Lower Falls. ► View from the south of the Upper Falls. ► View from north of the Upper Falls. I hope you enjoyed (flights arrive Tuesday and Thursday) Greetings! Until next time! ARGENTINA

Welcome to the city of Salto. Located in the Southern Metropolitan Area, north of the city of Austral. It is 164.3 kilometers (102.1 miles) south of the AMO. Had a significant residential growth in the last decade (in five years grew from 14 000 residents to 24,500) due to its proximity to the Delta del Plata, where the river empties Ostend on the Southern Ocean. Another reason for their disproportionate population growth is the Salto waterfall visited South Constructed artificial waterfall at the end of 2004. ►Night view of the town. ►South Cascade sight at night. ►The fall along the Avenue Bridge Buenos Aires and the railroad bridge. ►Same view of the bridge and the waterfall over the railway line intercity train service. ►The night on one of the neighborhoods. ►Area of high river and a small gutters to the meet. ►Lights on one of the bridges. ►View of the river below, with a road bridge and a pedestrian, noticing the "Walk of Channels." ►Passage of the National Highway 23 meters from the waterfall. ►Limit halt south of the city, almost out of it.
