At least 25 houses were completely destroyed by a landslide in the World Cup host city of Natal after a record amount of rain fall in 48 hours.
The city was host to the U.S.-Ghana World Cup soccer match on Monday at the Dunas Arena on Monday.
Torrential rains had plagued the city for days before the match, according to The Weather Channel, leading Natal's mayor Carlos Eduardo to announce a state of emergency in the city. Nearly 9 inches of rain fell in Natal from 8 a.m. Saturday to 8 a.m. Sunday alone.
