Brazil's Rio Grande do Sul is currently flooded

I don't make these kinds of posts, but Rio Grande do Sul (a brazilian estate) is going through its worst natural catastrophe in recorded history and I need everyone to know about this. Its currently looking like this:

What is going on

Most of Brazil suffers from yearly floods during the rain season. These floods most of the time aren't bad, with water going away a few hours later. Sometimes they are a nightmare, with people losing their homes and most if not all belongings. But this?

This is not fucking normal.

Currently (May 6th, 2024) there's +80 confirmed deaths and 873 thousand people are being affected by these historical floods. Eight hundred and seventy three THOUSAND people. Once again: THIS. IS. NOT. NORMAL.

Rio Grande has 496 cities, and currently, 364 are reporting problems related to this. It's almost the entirety of Rio Grande - and you know how big Rio Grande is? If you're from the USA, its just a bit bigger than Colorado, and just a bit smaller than Nevada. If you are European, Rio Grande is bigger than the United Kingdom. Can you imagine if almost the entirety of the UK was underwater? Because I sure fucking can just by watching brazilian news!

Rio Grande expects floods. It rains a lot in Brazil. What no one expect is having to deal with 2,30 meters - 7'7 feet for reference - ABOVE the expected flooding level, which is 3 meters (9'10 feet). This means that there were 5,26 meters (17'3 ft) of water. Chart for comparison:

I live in São Paulo, which is completely unaffected by what is going on over there, but I need people to be aware of this. Why?

How YOU can help

A single US dollar is almost five reais. One euro is around 5,50. This may not be much to a lot of people reading this, but literally anything helps. If you donate U$10, it's R$50 for us. If it's euros, then it's R$55,00.

If you can't donate, please just reblog this post.

NATIONAL DONATIONS INFO

If you're brazilian, oi, aqui tá o Pix do canal SOS Rio Grande do Sul para você ajudar:

I want to add another option for donating, as the previous one is the official government one and the governor of rio grande do sul has said most of it will be used later, for reconstructing, according to studies that will be made. While that is still good and important, we need help NOW

This is a trustworthy organization that helped in last years flood and showed accountability for all the money previously donated. They are helping now, with food, medicine, clothes and rescuing:

PLEASE HELP BRASIL

For donations in british pound GBP

For donations in Euro EUR

For donations in US dollars (LINK NOW UPDATED, If it stops working again you guys can click on the last link in here and scroll down, all the links are there) :

As OP said, most of your donations will be multiplied by five, so even your small or average will be FIVE TIMES MORE what an average brazilian can donate!!!!!!!

If you cant help with money right now, please share and tag your mutuals!!!!!

I need to stop drawing little Lu with his dumbass dad but I can’t

Talked with @ask-risorgimento-italy about nation conscious and nation death last night, and here’s kind of my take on it. They are people, but there’s something different simmering underneath.
