The rain has caused flooding and landslides which have killed over 500 people It's the worst natural disaster to hit Latin America's biggest nation since flooding and slides in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo states killed 785 people in 1967, according to the Brussels-based International Disaster Database, which has records of deadly natural events in Brazil since 1900. TERESOPOLIS, Brazil (AP) -- Grieving mudslide survivors carried the bodies of loved ones for hours down washed-out mountainsides on Friday as the death toll hit 514. They told of entire neighborhoods in a resort city destroyed and pleaded for food and water to reach those still isolated by Brazil's deadliest natural disaster in four decades. Officials said the death toll in four towns north of Rio de Janeiro was still rising and could jump further once rescuers can reach areas cut off by Wednesday's slides. They refused to even guess how many remain missing. Local reports put it in the hundreds. Rio state's Civil Defense department said on its website that 227 people were killed in Teresopolis and 230 in Nova Friburgo, a 45-mile (75-kilometer) drive to the west of Teresopolis that draws hikers and campers to mountain trails, waterfalls and dramatic views of lush green slopes. Another 41 died in neighboring Petropolis and 16 in the town of Sumidouro. The Civil Defense agency said about 14,000 people had been driven from their homes. An additional 37 people had died in floods and mudslides since Christmas in other parts of southeastern Brazil - 16 in Minas Gerais state north of Rio and 21 in Sao Paulo state.
