Storm causes flooding, landslides and falling trees in Guaxupé, MG

Two workers had a scary time while assembling the Christmas tree in the central region. One of them was at the top of the structure, installed in the square on Avenida Conde Ribeiro do Valle, in front of the Arlete de Sousa Mendes Municipal Theater, when the rain became more intense. Images show the man exiting the crane's basket as the equipment slowly backed away. He was using safety equipment and was not injured. (watch above)

In addition, house wall collapses, landslides and falling trees were recorded. Firefighters were also called because of broken high-voltage electrical wires, which posed a risk of electric shock.

In the Vila Progresso region, the river level rose suddenly during the morning, increasing the risk of flooding in nearby areas. The situation was monitored by the Civil Defense, Public Works Department, Military Police, Municipal Guard and other bodies.
