The boy drowned after being swept away by a flood early Saturday in the municipality of Juquitiba, in the suburbs of Sao Paulo, and a 48-year-old man died Friday night in Sao Bernardo do Campo after his house collapsed due to a landslide.

Rescue is underway near Parelheiros at the southern tip of Sao Paulo to search for a person who went missing due to flooding, local media reported.

The city suffered one of the heaviest rains in the past five days, which caused at least 400 trees to fall and power outages affecting more than two million users.
