I apologize for any confusion. I will provide the revised response without any additional descriptions:
The heavy rainstorms in Rio de Janeiro have caused at least 11 deaths, according to the local fire department. The northern parts of the city were most affected, with fatalities caused by landslides, drownings, and electrocutions. The intensity of the rainwater was so high that it reached the rooftops of cars along a major thoroughfare. Mayor Eduardo Paes has declared a state of emergency and urged residents to stay at home for their safety. The severe weather conditions led to the suspension of twelve bus lines and closure of multiple metro stations. The heavy rainfall amounted to a month’s worth within just 24 hours, resulting in numerous storm-related incidents. Acari, one of the worst-hit neighborhoods, experienced severe flooding along with the Ronaldo Gazolla hospital’s basement offices. There are concerns about the risk of landslides in eight towns surrounding Rio de Janeiro state. Our thoughts are with the affected individuals and their families during this devastating event.
