Sergio Cabral

It's been a less than a week since Rio de Janeiro was thrust into absolute chaos with relentless downpours that flooded the city, killed 229 people (as of Sunday night), injured nearly 200, caused over 11,000 people to evacuate their homes, and left an unknown number buried under the earth in mudslides.
 
Sergio Cabral, the governor of the state of Rio, said it will take weeks to get the city back to normal. Heavy machinery backhoes continue to work around-the-clock to clear mud from the hardest-hit areas.
