It looks like they might need to build an ark...
You know the way we've been complaining that it's rained a little bit here in Ireland over the last few days? Well we need to cop on because the flooding in Recife in Brazil overnight is beyond belief.
The city is hosting tonight's crucial World Cup Group G game between USA and Germany but getting to the game is going to be a challenge after the amount of rain that fell in the last 24 hours.
Here's some of the images posted by people in the area at the moment...
