Satellite images captured images of Rio Bonito do Iguaçu (PR) before and after the passage of the hurricane that left a total of eight people dead in Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul last week.
The unstable weather was caused by an extratropical cyclone that particularly hit the southern region of the country on Friday (7). In Paraná, hurricanes were recorded in the cities of Rio Bonito do Iguaçu, Torvo and Guarapuava.
The images are from the Brasil Mais Program Network, of the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, recorded by Planet satellites and provided by SCCON.

In Rio Bonito do Iguaçu, wind speeds reached 330 kilometers per hour, according to an estimate by Simepar (Paraná Environmental Technology and Monitoring System).
Based on Paraná Civil Defense figures, the National Confederation of Municipalities (CNM) estimated on Monday (10) that losses would already exceed R$114.5 million. Satellite images show roofs and debris in the streets, in a scorched earth scenario after the hurricane passes.
About 40% of the properties in Río Bonito do Iguaçu (PR) that were affected in some way will need to be completely rebuilt, according to a preliminary report prepared by technicians from Crea (Regional Council of Engineering and Agronomy of Paraná) and Cohapar (Housing Company of Paraná).
