The weather is now starting to change, insted of just dry heat it is now wet heat with the arrival of the rains. The other day I visited the community of Santo Antônio and their parish bulidings were severley damaged by the winds that preceeded the rain. I felt sorry for them because some of the buildings were only newly built last July and I was present at their FESTA to celebrate their completion. Thankfully the trees around the church, which is an older building, saved it from the storm damage.
Toilet & Shower Room without its roof, which was found in the ajoining trees.
Debris among the trees. The roof tiles look like asbestos sheets, but they are in fact recycled "tetrapack cartons". I read somewhere recently that Brazil is the only country that is able to recycle old milk and juice cartons. But the locals tell me that they are cheap but not very strong.
The wind toppled the new water tank which was full with water, this gives some indication as to the power of the storm.
Hall Roof damage.
Workers already gathering to clean up.
