Hey guys, and getting right to it the title might have been a bit weird but it makes sense. There was mudslide in Brazil killing up to 464 people north of Rio de Janeiro yesterday which was Wednesday,January 12. There are is still survivors of the mudslide stuck under layers of the mud. The slide destroyed homes and businesses and sweeping away cars and trucks. It also broke and washed away bridges and roads making it impossible to get emergency vehicles there quickly. Which means the people out of the mud have to dig out the others with shovels and their bare hands. There was 26 cm of rain fell in 24 hours!
Witnesses described that tonnes of earth came tumbling down a sheer rock face at 3 am, which is just a strait up and down rock kind of like what people rock climb on just flatter. Many of the houses that were destroyed almost instantly during the mudslide.
I think the worst part of the mudslide was that the power of how large the current on the mudslide was it would pull people down the current within seconds they would be sucked under the watery mud which would be close to impossible to get out. There isnt much that the emergency workers can do know. Since probably all of the people lost in the mud are probably dead by now. There isn’t much on the internet about this topic since it happened yesterday morning and there still searching so that’s it for now. Seeya
