In Rio state, meanwhile, deaths from last week's mudslides have risen to 727.

As rain fell on Sao Paulo, water rose above car windows in some points in the South America's largest city, blocking major highways.

The mayor's office issued flood alerts for much of the city Wednesday. One woman died the day before when her house collapsed amid heavy rains."
