🇧🇷🇧🇷⚠️ — The damages caused by the floods in Rio Grande do Sul already exceed the devastation left by Hurricane Katrina, which hit New Orleans in the United States in August 2005.
➡️ The flooded area in New Orleans was 2,400 square kilometers, while in Rio Grande do Sul, there are already 3,800 square kilometers of flooding.
❗️ Moreover, the former left 400,000 people homeless, while currently, there are over 600,000 displaced individuals in the Gaúcho territory.
➡️ Another interesting fact to note is that the effects of Hurricane Katrina took 10 years to repair, along with an investment of $125 billion. Therefore, it's not unlikely that several locations in the state may end up abandoned after this event.
