A severe storm has caused devastation in Brazil.
Sao Paulo: The severe storm that struck Sao Paulo, Brazil, caused a sensation. The storm was so strong that at least seven people died, while power was cut off to about 1.4 million homes on Saturday in the largest city in South America. Thousands of people have become homeless. The storm, which reached 67 miles (108 kilometers) per hour on Friday night, struck power transmission lines and uprooted dozens of trees, causing severe damage in some areas, Sao Paulo officials said.
In many places, the roofs of houses, shops and houses were torn off. Cars and other vehicles began to roll in the wind and water like paper. Which led to the spread of panic among people. According to the state government, several airports were also closed due to the storm and drinking water service was disrupted in many areas. Officials said one person was killed when a tree was uprooted and fell on a store.
Thousands of homes are plunged into darkness
Thousands of homes were plunged into darkness due to the terrible storm. Brazilian officials said that at least six other people died in areas surrounding Sao Paulo due to the storm. Authorities had hoped to restore power transmission within hours of the storm’s end, but people continued to face the brunt of darkness on Saturday, as authorities urged locals to limit water consumption. At least 2 crore people and 10 lakh people live in this urban area. (AP)
