Juiz de Fora, Feb. 25 (BNA): Severe floods in southeastern Brazil have killed at least 25 people and left dozens missing in the state of Minas Gerais. Meteorologists warned that more rain is expected in the region in the next few days.

The torrential rains began on Monday in the cities of Juiz de Fora and Uba, approximately 310 kilometres (192 miles) north of Rio de Janeiro, forcing around 440 residents to evacuate their homes, according to the Associated Press (AP).

Minas Gerais’ fire department says it is searching for 43 people who have been missing since late Monday. A video shared by the department showed flooded streets in Juiz de Fora and Uba, where a river veered off its course.
