Flooding Sweeps House Away, kills some in Brazil

Four people have died in flooding in Brazil’s Rio Grande do Sul state, with onlookers capturing the dramatic moment when a house was swept away. Severe storms caused widespread flooding and landslides in over 15 cities, including the state capital, Porto Alegre. One person died from an electric shock during house flooding, and a man and a couple lost their lives when their vehicle submerged. Fortunately, bystanders recorded a house being swept away, but there were no reported casualties in that incident. This follows a severe storm in June that claimed the lives of 16 people in the state.
