Grande do Sul throughout the week.

To date, the state of Rio Grande do Sul has recorded 57 deaths as a result of the storms, as well as 74 people injured in incidents linked to bad weather. Hundreds of roadblocks have left many communities isolated and there is a power outage in the capital, Porto Alegre.
