A Day of Chaos in São Paulo

Hello my Friends,

This is a picture of Tietê River, in São Paulo, in a sunny and calm day.

Yesterday the picture was a little bit different. It was a crazy day! It was raining in São Paulo for over 12 hours and the Tietê river inundated the roads . It was chaotic for the 3.5 million cars that drive in São Paulo everyday.






Here you can see how bad was the inundation.





We got stucked in traffic for hours with no chance to get out of the car or go anywhere. The firemen were asking us to stop trying to enter in São Paulo and go back home, and we had to do so. After almost 4 hours, we decided to go back home.

The weather has been totally crazy here and everywhere. I heard Portland had almost 70F one day and snow 3 days after. Last weekend we were wearing long sleeves in Brazil, what it not usual for December. Where is our Brazillian summer???
