CycloneKenneth claims its first life in Mozambique
This handout picture taken on April 25, 2019 and provided by the World Food Programme shows the battered coast of Cabo Delgado, Mozambique, where cyclone Kenneth is expected. A powerful cyclone smashed into northern Mozambique, leaving one person dead on Friday, barely a month after a super-storm slammed into the country’s centre, devastating the area and leaving hundreds dead.
On the tourist island of Ibo, 90 percent of homes for the 6,000 population had been flattened, said a spokesman for the institute, Antonio Beleza. “The cyclone is expected to bring heavy rains in the area for several days, with over 600 millimetres rainfall expected.” “I was quite preoccupied by the sea because they announced six metre waves… the wind was very strong, and I’ve never seen anything like it in my 15 years in Pemba,” a Portuguese owner of a lodge on Wimby beach, Anabela Moreira, told AFP.Wazir said the electricity supply in the city was down and strong winds were gusting since this afternoon.
Kenneth passed by the Indian Ocean archipelago nation of Comoros on Thursday, battering it with high winds and heavy rains, the country’s Meteorological Office wrote on Facebook.
