Nine people were seriously injured.
Local and federal Brazilian government officials visited the areas affected on Saturday morning.
The tornado that hit the community was originally classified as an EF-2, according to the state government, but after assessment of damage, could be reclassified as an EF-3.

“Since the beginning of November, several cities in Paraná have faced heavy rains, storms, gales and hail, which led the State Government to take emergency measures to release resources, assist victims and rebuild affected areas,” the government said.
