The diary The Country reported that for Monday, November 4, several obstacles complicate the cleaning tasks. The mud accumulated inside the buildings began to harden, requiring the use of water, in addition to shovels and brooms. According to the version of those affected, in some homes up to 15 people are needed to clear the mud.

He added that on Sunday, November 3, the mud still reached his knees and today the ground can already be seen. Despite this, he warned that in some streets, mud still covers residents’ ankles.
