Their flows and wind currents depend on how hot is Brazilian interior. If southeast is too hot, the flows are interrupted and all the rain coming from south stops in the southern region, accumulating there. Amazon rainforest provides moisture to mitigate the hotweather in the central regions of Brasil. Less moisture, means hotter weathers. So, everything here is connected, but aggravated by both El Nino and climate changes.

There was a huge flood in Porto Alegre in 1941. After that, in the 50s, 60s, and 70s there were big infrastructure projects in the city that avoided bad floods. Still, this was an extreme case and the infrastructure hasn't been properly renovated and improved since the 70s. It's not worth for politicians to try to invest in big projects to avoid floods, because they could take decades to be finished. And politicians only care about the next election.

@@cyan1616 It doesn't work that way in Brazil. A catastrophe like that is very undesirable, because these same wealthy people are aligned with the government, and since the government is not doing anything satisfactory, this will greatly descrease the government popularity and state moral (since this catastrophe came to prove how useless the government and the state are), and the great fortunes don't like unpopularity.

This is a serious problem across the country. Right now the state of Rio Grande do Sul is suffering, but not long ago it was Minas Gerais, Bahia, Espírito Santo, São Paulo, etc. All of our cities were built close to rivers, I think this is a global trend, but over the years with unplanned urbanization, many houses have been built in areas that shouldn't be. Fixing this will take time and cost a lot of money, it should be a State project and not a government project. And in my opinion, a State project is a utopia here, because our country is very politically divided and the politicians are largely corrupt.

As a Braziian, it´s too late fo fix anything. But we should start making big changes and getting adapted right now because that´s become a norm.

Every place in every country should have a law that before anyone buys property or builds on their property they have the right to easily find out from government agencies whether the land is on a flood plain and whether the land could end up being on a flood plain in future due to climate change. I suspect that the vast majority of people living on flood plains have no idea that they are living on a flood plain. It's just a ridiculous waste of resources for governments to look the other way as people build homes that are likely to eventually be destroyed in a flood.

It's utter disaster. Worst of all, is winter is approaching in the southern hemisphere as summer reaches the northern hemisphere, which means that according to the climate predictions for the week, it will be 10 degree Celsius by wendsday, the people without electricity in flooded areas will freeze to death if they aren't rescued or if the area isn't completely fixed by then.

Regarding Porto Alegre, experts have said that the infrastructure designed for preventing floods was not properly fixed, let alone improved, during the last decades. In fact, part of the structure collapsed during the torrential rains. Federal government can obviously plan actions to help preventing this kind of situation, but local authorities (mayors and Rio Grande do Sul governor) are way more responsible for fixing and improving these structures.

It's here in Brazil, but only in one of the Southern states (Rio Grande do Sul), the other two (Santa catarina and Paraná) haven't been damaged by heavy storms so far. Anyway, this is quite sad and heartbreaking.

Just to add to the reporter in Porto Alegre, Brasil is a Federation, there are three spheres of government involved in the rescue and planning, federal, state and counties. The federal government did send resources and budget to the state of Rio Grande do Sul to prepare and mitigate further disasters after the last two floodings in the last 8 months alone. But the state's governor, who is from the opposition did nothing with that aid. He also dismantled several state environmental laws since he came into office, so he's deep into this mud himself.

Governments aren’t able to handle these situations - we have to help each other in any way we can, we’re all in trouble.

So sad. This is an example of how we all could've spent our money and efforts to possibly prevent these climate catastrophes instead of having to deal with the aftermath. Almost every country will be affected by these climate events more often in the future I fear.

Sadly, this is just a snapshot of the current situation. Much more could be said in these few minutes.

If you strip the cover off that red laterite clay it becomes hard as a brick and water cant seep in and just runs off in massive flooding.

Only one degree separates water from evaporating or not. One more degree, and it may mean several billion tons of water evaporating. What goes up must come down.

I am Brazilian and I can honestly say that local reporter Gustavo Basso omits the fact that the local government of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Eduardo Leite, implemented several public policies against the environment in 2019. Regarding rescues and assistance to victims, Gustavo Basso omits the fact that the local, state and municipal governments have made drastic cuts in public service. As an example, the municipal civil defense of Porto Alegre is made up of just 8 employees to serve a population of more than 1.5 million

Most of the help in the south of Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul, is made from people to the people, the government took almost 4 days to take serious active help and also the government refused the help from Urugai that offered boats, helicopters, and people to help in the situation The government seems to want to take the credit for doing things, that the people did and are still doing way more than the government

Several days after the start of the unprecedented disaster in Rio Grande do Sul, the National Confederation of Municipalities (CNM) warns of the lack of effective support from the federal government for municipal managers and assistance to the population. The number of deaths has not yet been recorded as the water in many regions has not yet receded and it continues to rain in the state. 147 thousand homeless, according to data from the State Civil Defense. Regarding homeless and missing people, the data reported by the Municipalities reveals a dramatic situation. There are more than 283 thousand homeless. And what we have so far are promises, bureaucracy and a population that resists through its own efforts and the current of solidarity.

We hear here that funds have been made available and nothing has been done. It seems those entrusted to do something aren't good enough to do their job. Have they at least called in experts and engineers from around the world to look at this matter?

What is happening in Rio Grande do Sul only shows up the fact that we have failed in our proposals of stopping global warming. From now on we have to face the consequences that will get worse and worse.

I notice that the brazilian reporter forgot to mention Rio Grande do Sul governor. When he talked about budget for prevention he forgot to say that RS state, especially after the last two floodings last year, didn't put a dime for disaster prevention in this year's state budget. Of course the national government shoul be criticized, but he missed a very important part of the puzzle by not mentioning Eduardo Leite's (lack of) measures.

It's notorious how the Brazilian government incompetence has been clearly revealed upon this horrifying moment. The question is why haven't they tried to do anything to prevent this predictable disaster from happening earlier? Several proceedures could've been done prior to this massive flood that has taken place there, but not even a penny was spent to do it so, which is such a deplorable thing. In addition to that, I have to point out how shameful it is to see a president come out and say that it's a natural accident or something, when in fact we all know that nature has nothing to do with it, due to the undeniable fact that it's basically running its own course.

Sadly, it is now too little, FAR TOO LATE as the “new normal extreme weather” that was predicted has now become a regular occurrence due to inaction on reducing global warming emissions🥲😡. Still governments and societies are not increasing their “war effort” to quickly make the changes that will prevent climate change from growing even worse coupled with an ever growing world population, the limited options of moving to less vulnerable areas becomes much more difficult.😣

I'm in Rio Grande do Sul at the moment. Just one observation to reporter Gustavo's statement is necessary: ​​of course there are hundreds of volunteers providing invaluable work, but the Leite and Lula governments are providing all the support, be it through the police, fire brigade, armed forces, in short, there is a gigantic amount of personnel and aircraft, vessels, etc. that are being used by the Brazilian and Rio Grande do Sul governments to aid and rescue the victims. Therefore, it is not one hundred percent correct to say that only voluntary work was being used in the tragedy.

Brazilian here! I would like to say: thank you to all of you guys who are praying for this flood to end, since Rio Grande do Sul is one of the most developed states here in our country. The worst part of this entire situation, is the fact that it's affecting other states that are close to Rio Grande do Sul. This flood really needs to end, since, it can affect other states, and create more chaos in other regions of our country. Peace, guys!

I am pleading with anyone who can help to please donate to the flood disaster in southern Brazil. My friend's grandmother is holding her children in her arms, children around 4 years old. The water is up to her neck inside the house, there is no way to escape and no one has come to rescue them yet, and the grandmother is too weak to keep holding the children in her arms. When she lets go, they will drown. This is happening right now.

Mr Gustavo Basso should be more clear about responsabilities in this case. Yes, it is an overwhealming situation but it was not the lack of initiatives from the Federal Government that led to this caos. In fact it was a byproduct of the misattention to the cricital alarms by the State Government (the governor of Rio Gande do Sul) and also the mayor of Porto Alegre. Both were warned weeks ago of the possibilities of a catastrophe but they did nothing. Mr Gustavo, with his commentaries, helps the idea that it was consequence of negligency coming from Federal Government but it was in fact something that could be prevented by the governor of the province of Rio Grande do Sul and the mayor of Porto Alegre. Instead, t they did nothing to prevent the catastrophe. Now they are running to fix the situation and only now they asked the help of the Predident.

And the cold here is very strong, may God bless and protect our brothers from Rio Grande do Sul.

@@gehwissen3975 This happens due to atmospheric pressure system. Rio Grande do Sul (South Brazil) is a low-pressure natural point, and at least three surrounding high-pressure points sent their moisture-laden winds converging toward the same first point. Normally the moisture spreads to the rest of the continent and distributes the rain, but the high pressure point in the north is so strong that it forced a blockage in the path of the moisture, which caused intense rain at the same point. 600 mm of rain in an area the size of Switzerland.
