As the weather forecasts announced the dawn in the municipality of Cartagena has been intense and complicated, as noted by the Councilor for Public Safety, Juan Pedro Torralba.
The municipal services of Local Police, Firefighters, Civil Protection, Sports and Social Services, have had to deal with numerous incidents, most of them centered on the southern coast of the Mar Menor, where the Algar had accumulated more than 300 liters per square meter, 257 in Playa Honda, 230 in La Puebla, 220 in Los Nietos and 195 in Cabo de Palos.
This has caused that about two o'clock in the morning the evictions of neighbors in Villas Caravaning, Los Nietos and Bahía Bella began.
In Villas Caravaning, a hundred residents have been evicted in buses from the ALSA concessionaire who have been transferred to the Central Sports Pavilion of Cartagena, where the Red Cross has set up bunk beds and blankets and food have been provided.
In Los Nietos, a part of those affected have settled in the home of relatives, while about 15 have been treated at the local school.
Staff of the UME and Firefighters of Cartagena have tried to convince the residents of Bahía Bella, at the mouth of the Rambla de El Albujón, to transfer them to the CAR of Los Narejos, but most of them have refused.
Attempts have also been made several times to evict the four families that remained in La Algamecha Chica, without success, and a Local Police checkpoint has been left there, if necessary, due to the rising waters.
From the fire brigade, many rescuers of trapped drivers in their vehicles have been made at dawn trying to cross flooded areas, despite the recommendations.

CLOSED NAVANTIA
The flooding of the waters in the final stretch of the Rambla de Benipila, one of the hot spots in episodes of rain, has led the Navantia Emergency Committee to send a warning so that the employees did not go to work today, as reported from the company.
Also around this ravine, where the Cartagonova Stadium is located, the flooding of the basements of the sports facilities has been recorded, due to the large amount of water registered and despite the preventive measures taken with sacks of dirt to prevent penetration of the runoff.
In the rest of the city, especially in El Ensanche, the lowest area where the old Almarjal was located, there have been flooding of some streets, which are expected to disappear progesively as the sewerage network, which has worked satisfactorily, go assimilating the large amount of fallen water.
