Breathtaking footage of a woman being hoisted up a building in Brazil after she attempted to save a dog from the flood. Sadly the dog was pulled out of her arms.
Rescue workers struggled on Thursday to reach areas cut off by devastating floods and landslides that have killed at least 375 people in one of Brazil's worst natural disasters in decades.
Torrents of mud and water set off by heavy More.. rains left a trail of destruction through the mountainous Serrana region near the city of Rio de Janeiro, toppling houses, buckling roads and burying entire families as they slept.
"It's like an earthquake struck some areas," said Jorge Mario, the mayor of the Teresopolis municipal area, where at least 158 people died.
"There are three or four neighborhoods that were totally destroyed in rural areas. There are hardly any houses standing there and all the roads and bridges are destroyed."
Heavy rains earlier in the week killed 13 people in Sao Paulo state, bringing the total number of deaths in southern Brazil to at least 388
