wet weather events

Different of some countries, the Brazil's weather changes for each region. In Brazil, we have five climatic groups, or five regions with similar weather, but one shared weather event are the rainstorms. Meanwhile, the rainstorms happens in different moments for each climatic group, like in the northeast and north regions, when the rainstorms happen on the summer, or in the southeast, who occurs on the winter. Actually, the rainstorm is not the problem, but what happen if still raining for a long time. The two principal problems are floods and landslides. The first of them, can cause damages to cars in streets, and in houses on low areas. Also, how some people leave their trash in the roads, many of them goes to hospitals with health problems. The second one is the landslides, when the rain doesn't stop for many days, large pieces of land become "soft" and collapse, houses and other buildings near of that areas are destroyed and people died inside their own house. For example, in a Brazilian city called Nova Friburgo in 2011, a huge landslide killed 417 people, and is not difficult find other cases with the same consequences. Finally, other accidents are caused by rainstorms, like car accidents because of wet streets or mist, and stressing situations like go to work while a rainstorm is happening, but if you don't need go out of your home: excellent! a rainstorm is the best weather event to stay sleeping on home.
