"More disasters" are possible after cliff collapse kills 10 tourists in Brazil, weather expert warns

The collapse of a cliff that left 10 dead in Brazil on Saturday was caused by torrential rains and more disasters could be on the way, meteorologist Estael Sias told AFP. Two months of downpours have caused deadly flooding in several Brazilian states, including Bahia in the northeast and Minas Gerais in the southeast, where a huge column of rock crashed down on tourist boats on Furnas Lake.

Dramatic videos posted to social media captured the moment the cliff collapsed.

According to Sias, who works for the state meteorology agency Metsul, global warming is provoking an ever greater number of natural disasters.
