Stranded horse rescued from rooftop in flooded Brazilian city - VOA News.
A stranded horse is rescued from the floods in Canoas city in southern Brazil. The animal is seen being removed from a roof after being sedated and placed on a boat. Locals nicknamed it Caramelo and its rescue has gone viral on social media.
Authorities interrupted rescue efforts in flood-ravaged southern Brazil on Wednesday amid more rain and the risk of lightning and stiff winds that threaten to exacerbate a catastrophe that has already killed at least 100 people and left more than 163,000 seeking shelter.
The floods that began last week, caused by unusually heavy rains, have destroyed highways and bridges in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, which borders Uruguay and Argentina.
At least 128 people are still missing, the state's civil defense authority said, urging people living close to the Patos lagoon south of Porto Alegre to leave their homes immediately. #Brazil #Flood #reels #videography #voanews
