A cyclone which tore through southern Brazil has killed at least 13 people and forced thousands from their homes, authorities said Sunday. Torrential rain and strong winds on Thursday and Friday caused damage in dozens of towns in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, including its capital Porto Alegre - the latest in a string of weather-related disasters to hit South America's biggest country.
