The death toll from floods and mudslides triggered by torrential storms in southern Brazil climbed to 39 on Friday, officials said, as they warned of worse to come.

In one video posted online, a motorway bridge in Santa Maria, southern Brazil, can be seen buckling in front of people’s eyes amid high flood waters on Tuesday.

One man who is just about to step onto the bridge narrowly avoids falling in after stepping back just in time.

As the rain kept beating down on Friday, rescuers in boats and planes searched for scores of people reported missing among the ruins of collapsed homes, bridges and roads.

Rising water levels in the state of Rio Grande do Sul were straining dams and threatening the metropolis of Porto Alegre with “unprecedented” flooding, authorities warned.

  9. It's the second time I see Guaíba spelled wrong in English media.

    Guiaba sounds like Goiaba, the Portuguese word for Guava.

    Like many rivers and lakes in Brazil, the word is of tupi-guarani origin… gua-ybe, meaning "bay of all waters" (had to search etymology… like 99% of brazilians, I don´t understand tupi-guarani)

    It's pronounced like "gua-ih-bah". Stressed syllable being the "ih".

  11. Lula da Silva is not helping at all! He only knows how to steal from the country! He went there to pretend he's worried.
    The Brazilian people are mobilized! Thousands of people from Rio Grande do Sul are trying to save some, because many have already died!
    A tragedy beyond measure! Not even the Armed Forces cared.

  14. В Тамбове задержали гражданина России, который по заданию украинских спецслужб готовил взрывы у зданий областного и арбитражного судов, сообщает ФСБ.

    Мужчина прятал неизвестные предметы недалеко от вокзала, его заметили сотрудники РЖД, а охрана задержала. Саперы обнаружили на месте два взрывных устройства.

    Украинский агент признался, что собирался совершить подрывы судов по заданию украинских спецслужб. Украина страна террорист и те кто поставляет ей оружие являются пособниками террористов!!!!

  18. O governo do Brasil só sabe recolher impostos, na hora de socorrer o governo desaparece. Desde a última enchente o governo prometeu mandar ajuda e passou 1 ano e nada fizeram.

  19. And Brazil is being led like a copycat monkey. Some guys with painted mouths and makeup always referring to other countries. The Brazilian water system is unique in terms of the number and length of rivers, it is larger than all the continents, just look at the cartography, if we deal with river water we need to study this, building dams just with monetary thought, well a hydroelectric plant had to be turned off in the Amazon because of drought, so at that moment it was worth less than a battery, so dams can disappear in seconds. Other countries did what they did to solve their problem. With so many dams, Brazil is full of dead rivers, life does not flow.
