The Lord has come , Noahs flood washed away houses in Brazil

Rivers around the biggest city in Brazil s Amazon rainforest swelled to levels unseen in over a century of recordkeeping, according to data published by Manaus port authorities. The Rio Negro was at its highest level since records began in 1902, with a depth of meters at the port s measuring station. The nearby Solimoes and Amazon rivers were also nearing alltime highs, flooding streets and houses in dozens of municipalities and affecting some 450, 000 people in the region. Higherthanusual rain is associated with the La Nina phenomenon, when currents in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean affect global climate patterns.
