STORYLINE:
Authorities in southern Brazil rushed on Thursday to rescue survivors of massive flooding that has killed at least 100 people, but some residents have refused to leave.
Some do not want to leave belongings behind while others returned to evacuated homes despite the risk of new storms.
Heavy rains and flooding in Rio Grande do Sul since last week have also left 130 people missing, authorities said.
More than 230,000 have been displaced, and much of the region has been isolated by the floodwaters.
The national meteorology institute forecasts a cold front this weekend with additional rain to be particularly intense in the state’s north and east.
