PORTO ALEGRE, May 24 — Heavy rains once again pounded parts of Brazil ’s southernmost state yesterday, ruining days-long clean-up efforts and flooding areas which had previously been untouched in Rio Grande do Sul’s capital city of Porto Alegre.
Rains had lightened up to a drizzle over the past few days, with stores beginning to open and residents working to rebuild. “It all happened very quickly, much faster than last time,” the director of the childcare centre, who did not give her name, said.
