I am worried about one LJ friend:

angelcure. She lives in Brazil near (and has family members who live in) the area that is now being affected by deadly floods due to heavy rains. The death toll is up to 112. I hope that Angel and her family are not touched by this disaster.

( RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (CNN) -- The death toll from historic floods in southern Brazil continued to creep upward Monday, with 112 reported Mudslide in Brazildead, the state news agency said. Officials say 19 people remain missing and nearly 79,000 residents have been left homeless, according to the state-run Agencia Brasil. Many of the deaths have been caused by mudslides.
