Mucum, Brazil—Families in southern Brazil have begun to bury victims of a cyclone that left at least 42 dead and
affected some 150,000 people, many of whom lost their homes or faced isolation from landslides that washed away roads and bridges.
Mucum was hit harder by floods and landslides than any other municipality in Rio Grande do Sul. Authorities Saturday night lifted the death toll from the cyclone to 42 people and said 46 remain missing. In the Fatima neighborhood of Mucum, piles of red brick and wood were all that was left of houses that once stood. Mounds of corrugated metal roofing, splintered lumber, broken furniture, sodden clothing and wet mattresses were strewn along muddy roads.
At the cemetery, floral bouquets brightened the grim scene, sitting on muddy sidewalks as bereaved families gathered to place caskets of loved ones in burial niches.
