Betonbrücke reißt einfach ab

Ein Facebook-Video aus der Region zeigt die Macht der Fluten. Aufgenommen hat es der Radiomoderator Luciano Zanini Guerra: Die Wassermassen reißen eine Betonbrücke einer Bundesstraße einfach ab. Auf beiden Seiten des Ufers stehen Autos, die Menschen sind aus ihren Wägen gestiegen und schauen auf die Brücke, als diese plötzlich abgerissen und von den Wassermassen verschlungen wird. Der Fluss, über den die Brücke eigentlich führt, ist zu einem reißenden Strom angeschwollen.

Der steigende Wasserstand in Rio Grande do Sul belastete die Dämme, Gouverneur Eduardo Leite warnte vor einer beispiellosen Katastrophe in der 1,5-Millionen-Einwohner-Stadt Porto Alegre. »Vergessen Sie alles, was Sie bisher gesehen haben, in der Metropolregion wird es noch viel schlimmer sein«, sagte er.

Offiziellen Angaben zufolge gab es seit Montag in mindestens 265 Gemeinden im Bundesstaat Schäden. 74 Menschen seien verletzt worden, mehr als 24.000 Menschen hätten ihre Häuser verlassen müssen.
