Severe flooding triggered by a cyclone in southern Brazil has led to the destruction of homes, stranding of motorists, and inundation of streets across multiple cities.
"The fly-over we just did, shows the dimension of an absolutely out of the ordinary event," Leite said in a video posted on the state's social media accounts. "It wasn’t just riverside communities that were hit, but entire cities that were completely compromised."
Videos shot by rescue teams Tuesday and published by the online news site G1 had shown some families on the top of their houses pleading for help as rivers overflowed their banks. Some areas were entirely cut off after wide avenues turned into fast-moving rivers.
