186 Dead As Landslides and Flooding Wreak Havoc in Hill Town in Brazil
It said more than 180 firefighters and other rescue workers were at the scene in the picturesque hill town of Petropolis where Brazil's last emperor Pedro II is buried, 68 kilometers (42 miles) north of the city of Rio. Landslides and flooding triggered by heavy rainfall killed at least  "So far, 186 deaths caused by landslides and floods have been confirmed" in recent hours, the Rio de Janeiro Fire Department said in a statement. City hall declared a "state of disaster" as images spread on social media of destroyed houses and cars swept away by floodwater. Many shops were completely inundated by the rising waters which gushed down the streets of the historic city center.  Some parts of Petropolis received up to 260 millimeters (10 inches) of water in less than six hours, more than was expected for the whole month of February, according to the meteorological agency MetSul. The heaviest downpour had passed but more moderate rainfall was expected to continue for several hours, authorities said. |

Drainage looks pretty good, should run right off.

Hmm, so THAT'S what it feels like when a kid takes a cup of water and pours it all over a swarm of ants  .

Re: 186 Dead As Landslides and Flooding Wreak Havoc in Hill Town in Brazil
38 people have now been confirmed dead.                        I've found a shitload of short clips. I've merged 17 of them together in the first video + 12 in the 2nd:

So that is why they always wear flip flops. I took a $200 pair of boots to the beach and they were ruined. |

Hate that people died but I do like natural disaster footage.
