      Is the only one Brazil ever recognized as a hurricane. But it’s believed that they happen every once in a while, they are just not classified correctly.

      Yes, it was. US meteorologists even called Brazilian ones to warn that it was a hurricane, because the meteorologists here were dismissing it as just another tropical storm, as “hurricanes don’t happen in the south Atlantic”.

      I think I remember that in my city 60km inland many houses lost roof tiles.
