Floods submerge homes and leave at least 21 people dead in Brazil

At least 21 people died in southern Brazil due to a fierce storm that caused floods in several cities. Brazilian TV footage showed the city of Taquari under a huge amount of water after the Taquari river burst its banks.

The governor of Rio Grande do Sul, Eduardo Leite, said the death toll was the state’s highest due to a climate event adding that about 60 cities had been battered by the storm, which was classified as an extratropical cyclone
