Flood surge swamps jets, cars and airport terminal as death toll in Brazil disaster rises
DRAMATIC new footage shows a major airport drowned in 7ft of water after "apocalyptic" floods continue to hit Brazil.
At least 145 have died and more than half a million have been left homeless as endless torrential batter the country's south.
Salgado Filho International Airport has been caught up in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul's "worst disaster."
A shocking video showed jumbo jets floating in water next to a desolate airport that now can only be reached by boat.

Prayers to the people of Brazil from NYC. A jet with flood water up to the wings is a hell of a lot of water. Disasters like this bring out the Best and the Worst in people. People want to help their fellow countrymen, yet others just want to loot and pillage. So many places on Earth are going through catastrophic disasters in many forms. It was heartwarming to see those workers rescuing that horse. I worry about what could be in the water besides physical obstructions. Just imagine how awesome it would be if every civilized country offered whatever they could give in assistance. Prayers for Brazil.
God bless the Brazilian hearts of the army and people xx

I'm currently living in Porto Alegre, the floods hit most of the generators, a good chunk of the city is left with no water, and the flood water is still high. Most of the city is safe, but being the state capitol, nearly all of the refugees and rescue centers are based in the city, which strains our supplies tremendously. The city is also partially blocked, and the ramaining passages are crowded with food trucks, donations, rescue crews from the rest of the country, etc. To all who read this: nature acted to cause this, but not alone. We contributed for events like these to happen more often and more aggressively, and it just did. the flood we had in 1941 was surpassed already, and the only reason why it wasn't 3x worse for our city specifically its because we had a wall built after that first flood Make a difference, don't let giant corporations burn the world to a crisp for money, don't let politicians slide when they disregard maintenance that can save lives in disasters like these, and most importantly: Don't neglect the past, for its just a taste of what can, and will, happen in the future if you don't help prevent it.

the military cant work as police, its ilegal, so they are not protecting the shelters, and the brigade only works on comercial hours till 18h, this has been a complaint since day one, but its been 10 days now and nothing changed. also some shelters have prisioners sheltered with the population, one mayoer tried to get them somewhere else but the judiciary refused saying it was prejudice againt the prisioners....prejudice ? explain to me then why were they separated from population with bars? was it prejudice ?
The saddest part is that it’s not only far from over, the worst flooding is happening now. The peak should be on 5/14 or 5/15. Since the water just meet the ocean in Rio Grande, and the lagoon mouth is narrow, it’ll take a lot of days for everything to go back to its normal levels. We are going to recover from this (we are a very resilient people), but it will be a slow and painful process.

Unbelievable the devastation, my thoughts and prayers for people affected by this disaster.
What happened and is happening to Rio Grande not only affected them, it affected the entire country and do you know why? Because they are the largest producers of grains, meat and others in the country. What is happening is so serious that I am from the state of Bahia, which is 3000km away and food rationing in supermarkets is starting here, that is, we cannot take more than 3kg of rice and beans per person. All the land for planting was destroyed and only God knows how long it remained unproductive and this is very serious! Brazil is so big and glorious that it feeds billions of people in the world, so start praying because if agribusiness in Brazil is affected, the catastrophe will be global! Everyone went hungry, I hope you understood that it is not just a state the size of several European countries that is going through this misfortune, it is a country and if there is a lack of food here, it will be lacking for you too!

A catastrophe of the worst kind. Sad situation.

Just so you guys know, the cities affected where a in a plane area in the metropolitan region of Porto alegre, the waters extended the flood in area of 7 km away from the rivers, in other words the river became a lake flooding an aproximated area of 10 km around of it
@RenatoDeCarvalho-ni4cs

Indeed we had 3 kinds of floods... 1- In higher lands (serra), a very aggressive flow in the rivers, due to volume x gravity; 2- In Porto Alegre metropolitan area, the coming water spreading on plane low areas due the pouring of Lago Guaiba; 3- In southern cities 280km away from Porto Alegre, due to the limitation for draining in the exit channel to Atlantico.

My home state 😔 Luckily, my dad moved to the coast to retire, the only part no (yet) affected and I live in Enlgand. Never, since 1941, the river gates had to be closed. Now that we needed, they failed. Its devastating, my friends without water, electricity. But that's not even the worse compared with farmers that lost their lands, people that lost their houses, parents that lost their babies and children that lost their parents. There are animals bodies floating around most of the state. The rain continues and the winter approaches... South of Brazil is cold as England in the winter, so imagine...

Tornados are "common" in the state. In 2010 a few blocks of the city of Canela were destroyed by a tornado.

À época, o tucano se referiu às modificações como “modernizações” da legislação. Foi nesse período que o governador levou adiante a ideia de criar o chamado ‘autolicenciamento’. Na prática, funciona assim: um empresário que deseja construir algo em área ambiental preenche uma declaração em que assegura estar atendendo a todos os requisitos ambientais. Menos de 48 horas depois, ele recebe o aval do governo estadual. Agora a situação está criada, tudo por causa da ambição e poder.

Its a state of catastrophe for everyone involved in this earth upheaval. Heartening to see the military involvement in this humanitarian disaster. I personally am unable to comprehend how the people themselves and those who they love and cared about who may possibly be missing are travelling in this unprecedented situation.
This flooding is occurring every where around the world. Almost every country is going through flooding.
My heart went out to the athletes who are helping out with the relief operations. Years of training lost to a deluge!
Brazil needs more investment in flood containment and less money spent on things like bicycle paths and cheap scooters. Those might be popular with youth but do little for climate change. The climate has changed and now countries must address these problems with major infrastructure projects.

The huge Lagoa dos Patos acts more like a reservoir of all this water instead of emptying it away because of its narrow exit as someone has already pointed out. Moreover, the huge distance between both points (almost 300 Km) makes it difficult for all this water to move forward. The variable prevailing winds play an important role too, because it pushes the lake's water to one direction or another, according to its ever-changing direction.
