This is usually the kind of rain you wish would go away.
But despite the flooded streets, residents of Sao Paolo, Brazil are welcoming heavy rainstorms this week.
The area is in the middle of its worst drought in 80 years.
Thirty-five municipalities in Sao Paolo state have had to ration water and millions of residents have seen their taps run dry.
The main reservoir feeding the area is at just 3.4 percent capacity.
This week's rain stopped it from going even lower but meteorlogists say even with more rain on the way it won't be enough to fill the reservoir up again.
