Those News Year's Day mudslides in Brazil
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8437408.stm
Not a good start for a new year - that must have been frightening.

The number of people killed in a landslide that hit a Brazilian island resort on New Year's Day has risen to at least 26.

Mud and debris destroyed three houses and swept a luxury hotel into the sea on Ilha Grande, Angra dos Reis, near Rio de Janeiro.

Heavy rain triggered mudslides elsewhere in the Rio region, destroying homes in hillside slums.

More than 60 people are reported to have died across south-eastern Brazil.

Rescue teams are continuing to search for survivors on Ilha Grande.

1. What a tragedy. It's a beautiful and isolated area.
