Today the beach is slightly trecherous for those that want to take a dip. Yesterday, there was a wave in the Zona Sul area a little bit taller than 5 meters recorded. These monsterous waves are the result of a cold front mixed with high and low pressures that brought massive downpours of rain that invaded Rio de Janeiro Tuesday, April 6, 2010, leaving many without homes, some commuters in traffic all nigth, and over 200 deaths due to mainly mudslides in the poorer areas of the city. A complete tragedy for many Cariocas. Many have lost everything that they owned and also loved ones.The city is still trying to recuperate, but still finding more and more bodies in the fallen earth.
Tonight I plan on checking out Matisyahu at Circo Voador. He and many other artists are participating in
S.O.S. Rio to help those that have been affected the worst. If anyone is interested in helping out financially, an account through the bank Bradesco has been set up. It's:
Cáritas Arquidiocesana, no banco Bradesco, Agência 0814-1, C/C: 48500-4. All proceedes go to the flood victims.
