The storm, classified as an extratropical cyclone, affected roughly 60 cities and destroyed the homes of 1,650 people, showcasing the intensified climate impact on communities.
In Mucum, a town that has suffered immensely, local authorities advised residents to prepare for a 72-hour wait for supplies as resources are strained and recovery efforts intensified.
Local Mayor Mateus Trojan grimly stated, 'The town of Mucum as we knew it no longer exists,' highlighting the irreversible impact of the storm on local geography and community.
Governor Eduardo Leite noted this storm marked the state's highest total of fatalities due to a climate-related event, with a toll that continues to rise as search efforts proceed.
