Rescuers in boats and aircraft raced against the clock Sunday to help isolated people in Brazil's mountainous southeast after storms and heavy rains left at least 25 people dead in two states.
The death toll in Espirito Santo rose from four to 17 on Sunday as rescuers advanced, aided by water levels that had dropped overnight as the rainfall temporarily subsided. Four of the deaths in Rio state occurred when the storm caused a house to collapse in the city of Petropolis, 70 kilometers inland from the capital.
Images on local media showed rivers of water, mud and debris rushing down slopes in picturesque Petropolis, which in February 2022 saw at least 241 deaths from another catastrophic storm. Rio authorities had declared an administrative holiday on Friday as the storm approached and urged people to stay home.
