BRAZIL HIT by Powerful Storms – Floods, Hail & Tornado Risk (Latest Updates)

A powerful storm system swept across southern and southeastern Brazil this week, killing four people and producing three tornadoes in Parana state within three days. The system struck Parana and Sao Paulo, cutting power to more than one hundred twenty thousand homes and damaging hundreds of buildings across dozens of towns. Meteorologists say an extratropical cyclone formed off Rio Grande do Sul, dragging a cold front north and colliding with warm, moisture-laden air over already-saturated ground. A building collapse in Sao Paulo trapped several people, while a landslide in Ponta Grossa killed three members of one family, and forecasters warn the storm reaches peak strength before moving out to sea. In this video, we cover the tornadoes that hit Parana, the building collapse and landslide that claimed lives, what's driving this unusually active storm season, and where the system moves next. Confirmed casualty and missing-person figures are pinned in the comments and updated as official numbers change. Global Weather covers natural disasters and extreme weather events as they develop, using sourced reporting and avoiding unsupported speculation.
