"On Wednesday, there was scant evidence of its regal charms, after the floods ravaged its elegant streets and destroyed its Germanic buildings after rainfall on Tuesday exceeded the average for the entire month of February. 

In the Morro da Oficina neighborhood, up to 80 houses were hit by landslides, according to authorities who expect the death toll to rise. 

Petropolis’s city hall declared three days of mourning. Displaced people were being taken to schools and shelters. More than 300 people had to leave their homes."
