razilian authorities on Thursday said they were evacuating 4,000 people
in the state of Rio de Janeiro after days of heavy rains burst a river dike.
According to the Municipal Civil Defense, floodwaters opened up a 20-
meter-wide crater in the highway outside of Campos dos Goytacazes, which is
about 275 kilometers (170 miles) northeast of the coastal city of Rio de
Janeiro.
Heavy rains across southern and central Brazil have also wreaked havoc in the
state of Minas Gerais, an inland state to the southeast of the nation's capital
of Brasilia.
This wet weather spurred mudslides and flooding that earlier killed eight
people and forced another 10,000 to leave their homes. This state has
declared a state of emergency in 71 towns.
January is usually a month with heavy rains. A year ago, more than 800 people
died due to floods in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
