Violent storms and heavy rainfall hit Sao Paulo in Brazil on December 10, 2014, causing flooding and traffic chaos as authorities announced a state of alert in some parts of the city.

Thunderstorm dumped more than two inches of rain in only a few hours. Streets turned into flowing rivers. Cars were swept away by flash floods in parts of the city, where mud and debris clogged the streets.
