Hundreds Missing After Brazil Floods

Dozens of people are dead and at least 600 are missing after heavy rains triggered floods and mudslides in northeastern Brazil. The floods have washed away entire villages in the states of Alagoas and Pernambuco, leaving around 100,000 people homeless, the BBC reports. "We are praying for the missing to be found alive," the governor of Alagoas said. "But we are very worried because bodies are starting to turn up on beaches and on riverbanks." (More Brazil stories.)
