São Sebastião’s mayor, Felipe Augusto, said dozens of people were missing and 50 houses had collapsed in the city due to the landslides. “Our rescue teams are not managing to get to several locations; it’s a chaotic situation,” he added. “Many people are still under the rubble.”
The mayor shared several videos of widespread destruction in his city, including one that showed a baby being rescued by local people lined up on a flooded street.
A woman called Mailsa said she and her husband, daughter and grandson had barely escaped after a landslide destroyed her house in the Juquehy municipality of São Sebastião. The house was partially submerged, parts of it fell away and the rest was left precariously perched on the edge of a hill.
“It was very quick. Either you run or you die,” she told the Associated Press. “It’s not possible to take anything, only your life, which is the most important thing.”
São Paulo’s governor, Tarcísio de Freitas, met Lula on Monday to help coordinate the response to the disaster. He has requested support from the army, which has sent planes and rescue teams to the region.
“We have 36 missing persons in Barra do Sahy and we have information that there are four more missing persons in Juquehy,” Freitas told the TV Globo network on Monday. “We will update this number throughout the day. Teams have already gone to the region to carry out searches and we are reinforcing their number.”
In a tweet on Monday, the governor announced three days of mourning for the victims of the emergency. “I ask God to comfort the hearts of these families,” he said. “We will keep working and we will not rest until all the displaced and homeless people are safe.”
Operations at Santos, Latin America’s busiest container port, were interrupted amid wind gusts exceeding 34mph (55km/h) and waves over 1 metre high on Saturday, according to a local news outlet.
Freitas said the extent of the damage on the main road linking the port to Rio de Janeiro remained unclear. “At some points we don’t even know what’s left of the Rio-Santos highway,” the governor said after his meeting with Lula. “We even raise the possibility that it was dragged away; that the highway no longer exists.”
TV footage showed houses flooded with only roofs visible, and people using small boats to carry items and people to higher ground.
The São Paulo state government said more than 60cm (23.6in) of rain had fallen in the region in a single day – one of the highest amounts ever recorded in Brazil in such a short period – with Bertioga alone recording 68.7cm during the same period.
The northern coast of São Paulo state is a popular carnival destination for wealthy tourists who prefer to stay away from massive street parties in big cities.
Brazil had been hoping for a swift and seamless resumption of its famous festivities after the Covid pandemic prompted Rio to delay last year’s carnival by two months.
The country’s federal government expects 46 million people to join the festivities, which officially began on Friday and which run until 22 February. While Rio remains the best-known carnival venue, Salvador and Recife are also popular – as is metropolitan São Paulo, which has recently emerged as a hotspot.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Mike Tyson enjoyed Tommy Fury vs. Jake Paul together
El "Bicho" had fun at the side of the ring legend
Jake Paul and Tommy Fury had one of the most anticipated fights in the present 2023, but the show was not only inside the ring, there were also celebrities outside enjoying the boxing contest. Cristiano Ronaldo stole the show by chatting for a while with Mike Tyson and taking several pictures.
The fight took place at the Diriyah Arena in Saudi Arabia, and as Cristiano Ronaldo is now a player for Al-Nassr of Saudi Arabia, he was on hand to watch the fight where Tommy Fury shut Jake Paul's mouth, but by the way, he was the most photographed and most besieged man of the night, he even had some bodyguards to take care of him.
Cristiano and his son were with Tyson
Cristiano Ronaldo arrived at the Diriyah Arena venue accompanied by his eldest son who bears the same name and while he sat in his box, the five-time world champion received Mike Tyson to chat for a few minutes and then take some pictures with the fans who came to see him.
In a grat show in this new wave of fights between celebrities and boxers, Tommy Fury won a thrilling split decision over Jake Paul, who lost his undefeated record, in a show held in Saudi Arabia, with the presence of important celebrities of the world sport, such as Mike Tyson and Cristiano Ronaldo himself.
In an outdoor arena set up in the city of Riyadh, capital of Saudi Arabia, Fury (9-0, four knockouts) was better in the ring than Paul (5-1, one knockout) and, immediately after showing mutual respect, both agreed that the fight deserves a rematch in the near future.
Some did suggest spying might be involved, but that too seemed a strange explanation.
Under the headline, “Unidentified Flying Object over Port Blair city triggers curiosity and rumor,” the Sheekha posed a question: “In this age of ultra advanced satellites, who will use a flying object to spy?”
Question floated That question, experts say, has taken on a greater resonance this month, after the United States shot down a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon that spent days over American territory, including apparently lingering over nuclear missile silos in Montana.
US intelligence officials say the balloon – which China insists was a civilian weather research vessel – was part of an extensive Chinese surveillance program run from the island province of Hainan that has flown balloons over at least five continents in recent years.
Other governments have also raised concerns. Soon after the balloon was spotted over the US, Taiwan’s Foreign Ministry said the incident “should not be tolerated by the civilized international community,” adding it had experienced Chinese balloons flying over its territory in September 2021 and again in February 2022.
Japan meanwhile said it “strongly presumed” that three “balloon-shaped flying objects” detected in its airspace between November 2019 and September 2021 were “unmanned reconnaissance” aircraft flown by China.
But India – which administers the Andaman and Nicobar Islands – has remained conspicuously silent, despite questions being raised by the Indian media.
“Mystery balloon hovered over Andaman and Nicobar Islands around tri-service military drill,” reported India Today; “Chinese spy balloons, UFOs trigger paranoia among countries. Should India be worried?” asked Live Mint. “Reports Suggest India Was Targeted by Chinese Balloon Too,” ran a headline in The Wire; “Did a Chinese ‘spy’ balloon snoop on India too?” asked Firstpost.
China, meanwhile, has strongly denied running a balloon surveillance program. It maintains the vessel downed by the US was a weather balloon thrown off course and has also rejected Tokyo’s claims. Beijing said it firmly opposed “the Japanese side’s smear campaign against China” and said Japan should “stop following the US” by engaging in “deliberate speculation.”

“China is a responsible country that strictly abides by international law and respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries. (We) hope that all parties will look at it objectively,” China’s Foreign Ministry said in response to a question from CNN about whether the country had ever used balloons to spy on India.
Why the silence?
But to many onlookers, the silence from New Delhi on the matter has been as baffling as the balloon-like object was to the readers of the Andaman Sheekha.
“I think (the Indian) government is being silent about it for the simple fact that (it) was unable to do anything about it,” said Sushant Singh, a senior fellow at New Delhi-based think tank Center for Policy Research.
“If it were to say that a spy balloon was found over the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, which is seen as a great bastion of Indian sovereignty, it would show the government in a very poor light.”
India will come under the international spotlight this year as it hosts two high-level summits – the G20 and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization – and it is “desperately keen” for them to go well, Singh said.
And with a general election on the horizon in 2024, its leader Narendra Modi will be eager to look tough in the eyes of voters who swept him into power on a ticket of nationalism and a promise of India’s future greatness.
Acknowledging that a UFO – which may or may not have been spying – had floated above an archipelago that hosts a significant Indian military presence would compromise that message.
