Toll hits 84 in Brazil flooding
Rescue workers found dozens of bodies as they dug desperately through the wreckage of homes engulfed by mudslides in southern Brazil, boosting the death toll from rain-spawned hillside collapses and floods to 84.
As many as 30 people still were missing in small cities and towns across Santa Catarina state, where torrential weekend rains dumped as much water as the area usually gets in four months and far surpassed records going back to 1961.
