Road suitable for jet skis
Heavy rain in São Paulo: subway flooded
Heavy rainfall has caused a state of emergency in the Brazilian city of São Paulo: a subway station was flooded - a video (above) shows the chaos. Thousands of households were left without electricity and cars were washed away. Even a jet ski was filmed on a flooded street.
From Friday onwards, masses of rain caused considerable traffic disruption in the metropolis - the Jardim subway station was particularly badly affected. The corridors turned into raging torrents and people had to cling on to avoid being swept away.
The heavy rainfall had overwhelmed the station's drainage system. The authorities took measures to help stranded commuters.
Road traffic also came to a standstill in some places due to flooded roads and cars were washed away. One Brazilian took the opportunity to speed through the city on his jet ski, as a curious video shows.

In the meantime, the power went out in thousands of households. One person died in the storm. The weather also caused delays to air traffic: A British man managed to take a picture of lightning striking his plane shortly before boarding. The plane finally took off from São Paulo airport after hours of delay.
