Pablo Novak, Alone In The Flooded Town, Epecuen, Argentina

A town of about 40 square blocks, Epecuen was submerged beneath 10 meters (30 feet) of water.
Even when the waters eventually receded, the country town, 550 kilometers (340 miles) south of the capital, was never rebuilt. Its welcoming little hotels seem frozen in time, rot and rust, glistening with the salt in which they were steeped.
Berg recalls that fateful date -- November 10, 1985 -- when the flood barely left her family and the town's 1,500 other residents enough time to grab some belongings and run.
