Southern Brazil devastated: hydroelectric dam collapse amid deadly flooding, 30+ lives lost
56 Dead so far Flooding will continue to get worse.
Overpowering floods and mudslides caused by torrential rains are continuing to sweep southern Brazil, killing at least 56 people and forcing tens of thousands out of their homes, the government said.
As well as raising the death toll on Saturday, the country’s civil defence agency said rising water levels in the state of Rio Grande do Sul were straining dams and threatening the metropolis of Porto Alegre.
