A large-scale landslide occurred on the 15th in Petropolis near Rio de Janeiro in southeastern Brazil.
In Petropolis, which is known as a summer resort on the plateau, houses are lined up on the slope of the mountain, and in the video reported by the local TV station, the slope collapses greatly and the house is caught in the earth and sand, and the muddy stream flows into the road and the car is washed away. The situation is reflected.
According to the Rio de Janeiro state government, 58 people have been confirmed dead so far, and many people are still unknown, so fire departments and others are continuing to search.
At that time, it seems that it rained about 260 mm intensively in about 3 hours at the site, and local authorities are wary of evacuating nearby residents, saying that there is a possibility that it will continue to rain in the future. ..
In Brazil, heavy rains have caused serious damage in various places such as the state of São Paulo in the southeast since December last year.
