Juiz de Fora experienced intense rainfall that resulted in significant flooding, particularly in the Industrial neighborhood where streets were completely submerged. As of Tuesday afternoon, many residents were unable to leave their homes, with the situation being especially dire around Córrego Humaitá, which overflowed. Major roads, including Avenida Garcia Rodrigues Paes, were closed to vehicle traffic due to the deluge.

The flooding has been described as unprecedented, with some residents noting that it is worse than similar events in the past, such as the flood of 2004. Local journalist Bruno Ribeiro provided a firsthand account, confirming that houses in the inundated areas were entirely underwater, resulting in devastating losses for the families affected. The rapid rise of the waters caught many off guard, and residents are now left to deal with the aftermath of the flooding.

Emergency responses and recovery efforts will likely be critical in the days ahead as the community assesses the damage and determines the next steps. The local government and rescue teams may need to provide assistance to those who have lost their homes and help restore essential services in the affected areas. This event raises questions about urban planning and the capacity of Juiz de Fora to handle such extreme weather conditions in the future.
