In this Tuesday July 26, 2011 photo, a home damaged by a January mudslide caused by torrential rains remains in disrepair, in Teresopolis, Brazil.  The natural disaster that struck the mountainous town north of Rio de Janeiro was the worst to hit Brazil in a century: 918 people died; 322 were never found and are presumed dead. Now, residents are hit with another catastrophe. Elected officials are accused of graft and corruption in handling the funds meant to restore the lives of the tens of thousands who lost everything.
