Brazil’s Rio Grande port authority operating normally after heavy rains

The Rio Grande port, located in Brazil’s southernmost state of Rio Grande do Sul, is operating normally, according to a statement from the state’s port authority on Tuesday, which added the facility was not affected by the rise in the level of the Laguna dos Patos lagoon.

Heavy rains and flooding have devastated Rio Grande do Sul in the past few days, leaving entire towns and grains fields underwater, killing livestock and destroying critical infrastructure.
