RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — An extratropical cyclone in southern Brazil caused floods in several cities, killing at least 27 people and leaving more than 1,600 homeless, authorities said Wednesday. More than 60 cities have been battered by the storm since Monday night, and Rio Grande do Sul Gov. Rescue efforts expanded farther west on Wednesday with helicopters headed to the Rio Pardo Valley. “The water arrived very fast, it was rising two meters (6½ feet) an hour,” Mucum resident Marcos Antonio Gomes said. The city hall at Mucum recommended that residents seek out supplies to meet their needs for the next 72 hours.
