Heavy rain killed at least 28 people and left thousands more stranded throughout Southeastern Brazil. The rain caused deadly mudslides, which in turn damaged infrastructure and continues to make the region dangerous. Brazil’s rainy season corresponds with its summer, which begins in December and frequently brings devastation to regions around waterways and on hillsides, making travel difficult and in many cases impossible. The states of Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais were hit hard.
