Drone footage shows city UNDERWATER as Brazil flooding kills dozens and leaves 115,000 homeless

Drone footage showed buildings submerged in flood water in the Brazilian city of Porto Alegre after heavy rains lashed southern Brazil.
The death toll caused by flooding in Brazil's southern state of Rio Grande do Sul has risen to at least 78, local authorities said on Sunday, with more than 115,000 people displaced.
Floods have destroyed roads and bridges in several cities. The rains also triggered landslides and the partial collapse of a dam at a small hydroelectric power plant.
Flooding from storms in the past few days has affected more than two thirds of the nearly 500 cities in the state, which borders Uruguay and Argentina.

The problem is that it didn't happen in a long while and although the state is one of the richest, it's in decadence and has a lot of fiscal problems, so the state and municipal governments never saw the protection from the river as a priority, even though scientists did alert them, not that there would be such a flood, but that would have heavy rain in 2024.

Isto é o centro de Porto Alegre, na cidade de Canoas, tem casas que não se vê mais o telhado. Em alguns lugares que as águas baixaram, como Eldorado, a chuva lebou tudo, casas e bairrros inteiros desapareceeram.

[@aldolammel]

My foreigner friends dont even known I'm from Porto Alegre. I'm living nowadays 40km west from there, and in a hill flat top, so the flooding nor landslicing hit us over here. I cant say the same regarding my love ones around. The good thing is: southern culture is strong enough to rebuild everything when together. Let's do it!

You are talking about the valleys, you need to contextualize a bit to make the point. 5.3 meters is a shitton already in the plains.

Não existe expxlicação para oq aconteceu, isso é um castigo para um povo que não merece ser castigado, logo isso não é obra do divino, e sim do maligno. O povo sulista, gaúcho, é muito trabalhador, honesto e humilde, sem contar que é o povo que abastece as mesas de inumeros brasileiros E PESSOAS NO MUNDO! Essa tragédia pode ter dado inicio a destruição do estado em um país onde a volta por cima é extremamente dificil e demorada, isso causara migração do próprio povo para sabe-se la aonde.. O que esta por vir ninguem sabe, mas coisa boa não vai ser, somente Deus e Jesus podem nôs salvar.
