Central and southeastern Brazil has been pounded by winds reaching 62 miles ( 100 kilometers ) per hour and up to four inches ( 10 cm ) of daily rainfall.

Seven people died in Sao Paulo state, mainly due to falling trees and walls toppled by violent winds and rain.

Blackouts struck large parts of Sao Paulo city, and energy firm Enel said around 1.6 million homes and businesses were still without electricity.
