The storm that has hit Rio de Janeiro since Saturday night (13) left vehicles from the Federal Highway Police and the Military Police amid flooding in corporate yards in the north of Rio.
At the PRF Superintendency, which is located in Trevo das Margaridas, in Irajá, several vehicles were underwater this Sunday (14). According to the corporation, there was only material damage, with no major incidents reported.
In the 9th PM Battalion (Rocha Miranda), in Honório Gurgel, images recorded at the time of the storm showed vehicles almost entirely submerged – in some cases, with the giroflex still on.
