Stores and homes are without electricity in Sao Paulo after storms swept parts of Brazil, killing at least eight.

Central and southeastern Brazil have been pounded by winds reaching 62 miles (100 kilometers) per hour and up to four inches (10 cm) of daily rainfall, according to the National Institute of Meteorology.
