After a dry year with hardly any rain, Spain is experiencing an unprecedented situation. A DANA has affected different territories throughout the country, causing endless problems: floods, overflows, personal losses, closed roads, estuaries in towns, flight cancellations, etc.
Until yesterday, this meteorological phenomenon had affected only the eastern part of the country. 24 hours ago, Madrid entered the scene and millions of people who live in the capital of Madrid received a Civil Protection notice on their mobile phone alerting them about the situation they were going to experience and advising everyone to stay at home. .
The strident sound of the alarm and the scare that more than one experienced made the notice the topic of conversation of the day on social networks such as Twitter and Instagram, platforms on which thousands of people wrote about the statement.
It should be noted that, during the hours following the notice from the competent authorities, only a few drops fell in the Madrid capital, for which many began to criticize the announcement. This is the case of the actress Cristina Castaño, who tried to downplay the issue with a somewhat controversial tweet: “They like to lock us up at home a lot.”
After a few hours, Madrid became a setting worthy of an apocalyptic movie: tunnels cut off, trains that could not reach the capital or leave it, swimming pools in the subway cars, cars dragged by strong currents in some community towns, etc.
After verifying that Civil Protection was right and that the situation was extreme, hundreds of people went to all those who had tried to minimize the problem and reproached them for their attitude.
Before it started to rain with such intensity, Cristina Castaño wrote a second tweet in which she said they were facing “the story of the wolf”, something that angered some followers, who did not hesitate to respond.
Hundreds of users on the network responded to the tweets of the actress from La que se avecina, blaming her attitude, since as a public figure she should look out for the common good and not make this type of comment.
”Stop being ridiculous”, ”It was not an obligation, but a recommendation. Now, if you go out, the deluge catches you and the current drags you away, then there should be no complaints to the authorities, who, both the Government of Spain and the Community of Madrid, have done the right thing. Responsibility”, ”Your comment is irresponsible” or ”What a disappointment, it made you smarter. Perhaps Enrique was right in that you have the right maturity” are some of the comments dedicated to Castaño that can be read on the Internet. In addition, many responded to his tweets showing him videos of the damage caused by heavy rains.
