A house was swept away on a flooded street during a severe storm.

The property appears to split in half on the disaster hit road.

One half is carried away by the fast-moving muddy water while the other remains fixed to its foundations.

Bobbing in the water, the house section turns a corner before apparently getting caught up in a row of trees.

It happened in Putinga, south west of São Paulo, Brazil on Wednesday (1 May).

According to reports, strong storms and flash floods have battered the state since 26 April.

Putinga mayor Paulo Lima warned there is a risk of the nearby Santa Lúcia Dam bursting, which, if it happens, could flood the entire town centre.

He stated that a large number of residents have already been evacuated from their homes and asked others to see shelter in high areas.

Since last week, 13 people have been killed in the storms in Rio Grande do Sul, according to a Civil Defence report on 2 May.

The authority said 21 people are still missing while nearly 45,000 have been affected in some way by the flash floods.

To date, 134 city halls have reported significant losses due to overflowing rivers, flooding, landslides and similar.

Around 9,900 people have been left without homes and the number of residents who had to seek public shelters has reached 4,500, as reported by Need To Know.
