At least 91 people have been confirmed dead and 26 others are still missing from flooding over the weekend in the northeastern Brazilian state of Pernambuco, authorities said Monday.


Efforts to search for residents currently unaccounted for were ramped up as hundreds of state and federal rescue workers were deployed in the state capital of Recife and the neighboring municipality of Jaboatao dos Guararape.


Most of the search is taken place in Jardim Monte Verde, a neighborhood located between Recife and Jaboatao dos Guararape, were 20 people were found dead, buried under the mud.


President Jair Bolsonaro flew over the affected areas on Monday, but couldn't land due to the soaked soil.

This flooding in Brazil is always crazy

And the weather here in nigeria is just perfect....

Sad. Weekend of heavy rain?.... there must be flooding.... those rivers can quickly turn into something else... and mud is never stable under such conditions. As if the deaths and destruction is not enough.... survivors now have to fear the wildlife that always come with such floods.... especially the anaconda and crocodiles. Would this even make world news?... I doubt it. May they soon get back on their feet.
