Heavy rainfall in Brazil has caused devastating floods in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul that has left more than 100 dead and over 163,000 seeking shelter.

The floods that began last week have destroyed highways and bridges and left streets inundated with murky water.

Flood waters in the state capital of Porto Alegre and Canoas have reached a depth of 10 feet and can now only be navigated by boat or jet skis.
