    As of now, the most recent rainfall has arrive at 270  residential areas  in Brazil. There have been 31 or more deaths reported and at the least another 500,000 people have been left without a home.

    About one-third of the demises have happened in Ceara state in the NE region of Brazil, officials said. All other reports of deaths are in other regions of Brazil.

    Citizens of Brazil have had to use small boats to travel to other areas.  In order to deliver food and other provisions to the citizens, they have had to transport it in by helicopter since the roads are covered with water.

    Rain that has been falling in some regions for over 2 weeks is anticipated to continue to fall for an additional ten days.
