“We have been trying to contact you for three days”I told Splash Bruna Felisberto, Natalya’s friend who is in Porto Alegre. She posted a request for information about the model on social media.
She lives in the USA and came to Roca Sales and Encantado [cidades gaúchas] to visit family and have a baby here in Brazil. Since these rains, her husband has been communicating with them and three days ago was the last time he managed to contact them. Bruna Felisberto, Miss RS 2009 and friend of Natalya
Natalya and her family had already tried to leave the city: “The bridge, I think it was flooded or had been destroyed, was closed, they were unable to leave the city. They returned to the farm, which was flooded and the animals had even died. Water had already entered the first floor of the house. They were isolated on the second floor”.
The last communication was made on Tuesday (30). Natalya is with her parents and brother: “They were collecting rainwater because they no longer had drinking water.”
The city is completely destroyed, houses are buried, landslides. The farm is close to one of the river banks, a place that floods a lot. We are trying to rescue by boat and helicopter, but no one can contact anyone. Bruna Felisberto, Miss RS 2009 and friend of Natálya
