Deadly Flood And Mudslide In Brazil-Photos

Heavy rains caused deadly floods and mudslides in Brazil.

At least 270 people were killed and lots of people are missing.

257 people were killed in several mountain towns near Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday.

The rains caused flood and mudslide that swept the villages.

Some families were buried as they slept.

And in Sao Paulo state, 13 people were killed.

Hillsides and riverbanks were swept by the heavy rains, destroying cars, roads, houses and other building.

Thousands of people are still stranded and waiting for the rescue teams to arrive.

It is a disaster to Brazil and I am very sorry for the victims.
