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

Once a lake country spa town south of Buenos Aires, Epecuen is a lagoon with a salinity level only topped by the Dead Sea. For decades, tourists visited to take its waters believing they were good for one's health.
Everything came crashing down in 1985 when a long period of heavy rains sent the lagoon bursting over its banks, and it swept over a busy small town.
"I had a bunch of cats and dogs, and they ran away a couple days before the flood and I never saw them again," Norma Berg, 48, told recalling her childhood spent there, until the flood.
"I think my pets could feel that the water was coming," Berg said, as she glanced at the rubble of the childhood home she fled.
