“At least five dead in storms in Rio de Janeiro,”

“Chaotic scenes have taken place in Rio de Janeiro since the residents of Brazil’s second largest city awakened to a proper storm. At least five people have been killed since the rain and wind caused flooding and landslides, felled trees and swept with the buses.”

“Some of the city’s more well-known areas, such as touristy Ipanema and Copacabana, shook on Wednesday evening by a gale with a speed of up to 30 metres per second.”

“More rain is expected during Thursday and the city’s mayor calls on the Rio-be sure to get to safe places.”
