The city of Petropolis was struck by a deluge on Tuesday, and Mayor Rubens Bomtempo said the number of dead could rise as searchers picked through the wreckage. The state fire department said late Tuesday the area saw 25.8cm (just over 10in) of rain fall within three hours on Tuesday – almost as much as during the previous 30 days combined. Governor Claudio Castro said all the state government’s heavy machinery was being called in to help dig out the buried area in a desperate hunt for survivors.Credit Daily Mail
