Yesterday morning, I got excited, when I listened, on the radio, the Mayor of the village Quinto de Ebro (near Zaragoza, in northeastern Spain), Digna Bes, speaking of her neighbors, who have helped the public company, SARGA, to build a speck (ball ground, that closes or saves the passage of water in a ditch) to prevent water, from the river Ebro, which passed close to the village, overwhelmed, does not enter houses of the village.
I noticed to the Mayor to be proud of her neighbors. I should feel the same…
Strengthening hillock of the village of Zaragoza, Quinto de Ebro, has contained the extraordinary rise of the river, whose peak has passed the last dawn (the dawn of the Tuesday).

"All night have been working deployed troops and farmers themselves, with their tractors", said the Mayor of Quinto de Ebro, Digna Bes, indicating that the neighbors have made efforts to contain up to 7.00 a.m..
Bes said that water has entered the fields and "it has jumped over the roads and it had an incredible strength; but it has not arrived to the village, thanks to the cord, that they made yesterday and tonight".
The access to this village, located downstream of Zaragoza, neither present problems, the Mayor has explained. In the area, are members of the EMU (Emergency Military Unit), the Red Cross and Civil Protection.
Well, as I said earlier, I am pleased having some compatriots, as caring and responsibles. I would like that many other villages did the same, in any emergency situation.
Until my next post, kind regards,
Luis.
