Get the f out of Petropolis!
🕊️💕 to the universe 🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥 get blessed all 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
We are killing the world and now being punished from God and its going to get worse 😞
Yes it so sad to say this .
I wish I had billions of dollars to send something to help whenever there’s a crisis like this. I’ll have an account just for these circumstances
Send that billy and surely won’t a dime get to those actually affected. It’ll go to their slave masters
@Sheik Magic yeah huh
Praying for Rio deJeneiro. I love Brazil.

The black and brown natives, and black slave descendants are left with most unstable tracks of land, by design, meanwhile, the European “president” promises relief to the problems they create and perpetuate. Ok wait
Relocation is needed.
I hope blue is okay.
And for news you won’t hear on nbc Border crossing at millions, hillery spied on a president, fentenal is coming across a open border because of immigration taking up resources. I could go on and on .fake news
My lord almighty, please help them.🙏🙏🙏🙏 My condolences to all the families of the victims.
God cursed them all
Cut trees prcident …thats happened to brazil
That’s why you have to check the flood zones before putting down that mortgage for a home.
Very sad 😢
Prayers for these poor souls. i pray he child is alive and safe
Destroy that statue . Better off writing the scriptures in stone rather creating a statue
It’s a complete swampy shithole.
APTTMHY HALELUYAH
did they have this problem before deforestation? no. The RainForest is there for a reason. when you remove the RainForest the rain has no where to go, so it FLOODS. Humans maintain their ignorance and keep destroying the thing that could prevent this from happening. Do Unto Others, what goes around comes around,
There is mistake.0:20
She is not the mother but sister of the victim.
Praying for All!
This happened because the government doesn’t want to do anything to help the infrastructure problem in Brazil 💯%fact
Just like they didn’t warn anyone in 2004 on December 26th that an asteroid as big as a mountain was heading directly towards earth 💯%fact if they would have 250,000 people would still be alive today.
Where’s the search dogs?
O my God 😭😭
Their president oks deforestation! His people are payinh the price.

Romans 10.9. if thou shall confess with thy mouth the lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shall be saved
They chose to live on a mountain…. Wether poverty or not…. ITs a bad idea at some point if ya dont have a structure so 50% expectations of mudslides, landslides, etc . Common sense.
Almost the entire Brazilian coast is covered with mountains and mountains, remembering that most cities are on the coast for historical reasons. There are states that are completely covered by mountains (as is the case of Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais). The problem is that in summer it rains a lot here because of the convergence zone of the south atlantic, which brings very heavy rains from the Amazon regions (extreme north of Brazil) to the southeast (disaster region), many disasters happen because of this.
Don’t blame the victim. Just like an earthquake, it is not something that can be avoided, but it is something that infrastructure works could be carried out to make the region safer and avoid the large number of deaths – remembering that in 2010 the same type of incident happened with more than 900 deaths in the same city.
Climate Change……….😞😞
So sad my condolences sending prayers to all 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
vocês estejam seguros lá fora
It’s 2022 😨😨😨 this shouldn’t be happening 😭
Mother nature NOTHING can stop it 😥
This happened 2 days ago if y’all would keep to the America’s and out of Europe business you’d kno this this sooner
Too sad omg
Thought and prayers , so sad ….too see ….
Deforestation.
That’s what you get when you cut the forest down 😠
It’s because the zone of convergence of south atlantic. Every summer this happens…
And, year after year a new city have a disaster like it. We have a heavy tax charge (40%), but the resources don’t go to infrastructure changes. They don’t make any disasters prevention. This city expended a lot more with Christmas decoration than so much less with construction of fundation that can avoit this type of disaster.
@Leticia Sena They should take better care of this Beautiful and unique place 🤔
I was born and raised in Petropolis/Brazil. It is very sad to see the city that I love, my hometown, in this situation. The city has a famous historic downtown with a museum that was summer residence of the king of Portugal, D. Pedro. And it is a very beautiful city overall full of nature and mountains.
So sad.
We have been saying for a long time that only the *Creative Society* can save people from the climate anomalies that are happening all over the world, the climate is now our common enemy, wake up people. It’s affecting everyone.
Sad
110 dead and 134 missing… for now
Mud floods wow.
Such a heart break, so much loss, I’m so sorry for my brothers and sisters
Sao as águas de março fechando o verão.. but coming earlier, due to the climate change..
😭 prayers going out to family’s 😢
To be honest in this sick world I wish I was one of the dead …. The world is not worth been part of anymore
.#zZz#.⚡⬇️⬆️💀☢☣…НАЭКСПЕРЕМЕНТИРОВАЛИСЬ???!.💀⚡⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫💀💀💀💀⚡⚡⚡
May ALL blessings pour towards the people of Petropolis.
Lord help us and keep us safe from earthquakes and natural calamities🙏
You are right because I invested with Karen Investment $1000 and I earned $14,800 in the space of seven days.
end of the world 2022-2023
Brazilians here: The main responsibility lies with the governments and the population, but in Brazil the areas with the highest population are the coast and with irregular relief (many hills), since the flat areas are mostly savannas, dry lands, swamps and the region of the Amazon rainforest and so on.
Not all the country is with irregular relief. There are many hills in the coastal regions, but there are many plateaus . There are many coastal cities, but the interior has many inhabitants as well. You can’t blame people, there are disasters, just like anywhere else in the world, the problem is that there’s a lack of preparation. Expensive taxes (40% or more) are paid by the population but little is returned.
One scandal with Petrópolis is that the city spent more money on Christmas decorations than on disaster prevention (2,5M and 5,1M respectly) and this is not the first time this has happened, Petrópolis went through the same event in 2010 and had more than 900 deaths. Every year, the coastal areas of the country (mainly in the southeast) experience this type of event but there is no significant changes that can prevent these disasters.
@Leticia Sena Search for maps with population density and relief maps of Brazil. Brazil has areas of very old formation, gigantic mountains have collapsed and spread, transforming into extensive regions of small mountains.
we’re all humans and we feel pain too. praying for brazil
terrible catastrophe brazil
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
How do you possibly survive being buried in mud? Absolutely tragic. As if they don’t have enough struggle. Sending vibes of care from Portland 503
