Brazil has had a lot of flooding problems this year:

At least 31 dead, 50,000 homeless in Brazil flooding

May 7, 2009 — Updated 2357 GMT

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (CNN) — Rain-induced flooding over large parts of Brazil have killed at least 31 people and left another 500,000 homeless, the government’s civil defense agency said Thursday.

About 270 towns and communities in 10 states have been flooded by swollen rivers. About one-third of the deaths have occurred in Ceara state in the northeastern part of the country, officials said.

The remaining deaths have occurred in four other states.

Food, supplies and other aid sent by the government can only reach some communities by helicopter because roads are flooded.

Rain has fallen steadily in some places for more than two weeks and is forecast to continue for another 10 days. http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/americas/05/07/brazil.floods/

Here is what Wikipedia reported a few days ago:

The 2009 Brazilian floods and mudslides is an ongoing natural disaster primarily in, but not limited to, five northeastern states of Brazil.

Because of the rains and certain economic difficulties, 2009 has been a rough year for Brazil.

It has been too wet in much of Brazil, while it has been too dry in the USA West.

While Latin America will have certain disasters, biblical prophecies indicate that perhaps sometime next decade, it will do much better than the U.S.A., Canada, and their Anglo-descended allies.
