Powerful storm knocks out power to 1.4 million homes in
Brazil’s largest city
SAO PAULO (AP) — Around 1.4 million households in Sao
Paulo, Brazil, were without power on Saturday almost 24 hours
after a brief but powerful storm swept through South America’s
largest metropolis. At least seven people were killed.
Officials in Sao Paulo state said that record winds of up to 67
mph (108 kph) knocked down transmission lines and destroyed
trees, causing severe damage in some parts. The storm also shut
down several airports and interrupted water service in several
areas, according to the state government.
Authorities originally expected to restore power within a few
hours. But several neighborhoods in the metropolitan area, which
is home to 21 million people, were still in the dark on Saturday,
and authorities were urging residents to limit their consumption
of water.
