Nearly 400mm in 2 hours, thats approaching half the annual average for La Plata.

I shudder to think what would've happened if that amount of rain had hit Buenos Aiers yesterday.

So jaded with the system in AR, would donate a few $$$ to make me feel better and then count my blessings. Cannot help but believe the people that need help would never see a peso. Sad state of affairs.

Set your cynicism aside:

I believe donations of clothes and bedding would be received with sincere thanks. 'Fundacion Si' is the charity collecting for flood victims.

This organization is serious. They do good work. I wouldn't hesitate to donate money to them. But if that makes you queasy, bring over some supplies to one of the addresses listed on their site.
