More Rain Forecast for Brazil as Floods
.
Brazil’s most-deadly natural disaster may worsen as heavy rain in coming weeks threatens to cause more mudslides...
.
and hinder rescue efforts after at least 511 people died in Rio de Janeiro state.
.
Petropolis, Teresopolis and Nova Friburgo, cities in the mountainous area about 40 miles north of Rio,
.
were the hardest hit this week as heavy rain sent earth and rocks rolling down hillside communities and swollen rivers swept away houses.
.
A cold front stationed in the region and a weather system bringing humidity from the Amazon will continue to produce persistent rain.
