A race against time is underway in the face of floods in southern Brazil on Sunday May 5. Seen from the sky, in Porto Alegre, in the south of the country, the scale of the disaster is gripping. Houses with barely visible roofs were damaged. In addition to the 70,000 residents evacuated from their homes, more than a million homes are still without water, according to civil defense. A provisional report on Sunday showed at least 78 dead and more than 100 missing.
“I’m very shaken.”
“In one night, it fell two or three times more than forecast, so we are in danger. Now I don’t have a cell phone anymore, so I don’t know what I can do. I no longer have any communication with anyone, I am very shaken“, confides a man.
