Torrential rains have caused severe flooding in southern Brazil, where rescuers from the southern state of Santa Catarina have been dispatched to help evacuate hundreds of families stranded in their homes. A video provided by the Civil Defense Unit of Santa Catarina shows helicopters flying over muddy water that flooded homes to the roof. Helicopters hovered over some houses so firefighters could get families to safety. More than 880 people have been evacuated so far, according to authorities. Santa Catarina officials have urged people to avoid road travel as a state of emergency has been declared in several cities. Flooding at this time of year in Brazil is common and has caused devastation for decades. In February, 94 people died in landslides after heavy rains in the historic Brazilian mountain town of Petropolis, near Rio de Janeiro.
