Floods, mudslides kill 33 in southern Brazil
The death toll from flooding and landslides caused by heavy rains in southern Brazil has increased to 33, state media said Monday. The count of deaths from the weekend devastation rose from 20 reported on Sunday as civil defense officials receive updated information, Agencia Brasil said. Nearly 20,000 people have been forced from their homes, and access was cut off to four towns where residents have no electricity.
Rescue efforts were focusing on the Itajai River valley, where waters were 30 feet above normal.
