Recently, Google released satellite images taken in Porto Alegre and Canoas, both in Rio Grande do Sul, which show the chaos after the rain, resulting in flooding, which left many homeless, in addition to obviously losing their belongings and some of these people missing.

The visualization is only available for Google Earth Pro (disable 3D before viewing). Therefore, I leave some coordinates for you to view.
