SÃO PAULO — Raging torrents from a ruptured dam swamped a small rural Brazilian city Thursday, killing four people and destroying at least 120 homes. Eleven people were missing, 80 suffered minor injuries and nearly 3,000 were forced from their homes.

Amateur video footage showed water pouring from the dam into a river below. Officials said floodwaters inundated Cocal, population about 25,000, after a dam section gave way under the weight of a reservoir bloated by rains.
