 Sao Paulo (AFP) Sept 9, 2009
 The bodies of three children were recovered Wednesday from under a house hit by a mudslide in Brazil, lifting the country's toll from the violent storm to 10, officials said.

The bodies of the children, aged two, four and eight, were pulled out of their home in a slum on Sao Paulo's outskirts, the state news outlet Agencia Brasil reported.

Emergency teams had been looking for them since Tuesday, when the fierce tempest, described in places as a tornado, lashed southern Brazil and northern Argentina.

Their mother, and two other children elsewhere in Sao Paulo, also died in the storm.

Four other people were killed in the nearby state of Santa Catarina and 10 people died in Argentina, bringing the total storm death toll for both countries to 20.
