In southeastern Tocantins, intense rainfall over the past weeks has resulted in significant infrastructural damage, particularly the destruction of 15 bridges. In the town of Pequizeiro, the bridge on TO-239 has crumbled under the pressure of the floodwaters, severely disrupting transportation routes. Between Lizarda and São Félix do Tocantins, access routes to the Jalapão region have become impassable, leaving local residents stranded as essential connections to their communities have been severed.

Families affected by the flooding narrate their harrowing experiences, with one resident, João Rodrigues, expressing concern for his family's safety as they have been isolated between two collapsed bridges. The rural road connecting four municipalities has suffered extensive damage, with a bridge's head being destroyed and presenting dangerous fissures. The surrounding environment has also been severely impacted, with native vegetation and crops along the creek being uprooted by the floods, compounding the losses felt by the local populace as they grapple with both infrastructural and agricultural challenges.

Meanwhile, in Santa Rosa do Tocantins, an entire village has been flooded due to the overflowing of a reservoir dam, with homes, including an adobe house, succumbing to the deluge. This catastrophic weather event highlights the vulnerability of rural areas in Tocantins to extreme weather conditions, emphasizing an urgent need for infrastructural resilience and support for affected families who now face uncertain living conditions and significant disruptions to their daily lives.
