Cyclone Kenneth kills 3 in Comoros en route to Mozambique, Tanzania
Moroni - Violent winds of up to 140km/h lashed the East African island nation of Comoros overnight, killing three people, authorities said on Thursday, as tropical Cyclone Kenneth swept towards flood-battered Mozambique and southern Tanzania.
In Comoros, the winds intensified around 9pm on Wednesday, causing widespread power outages in the capital Moroni and on the other two main islands of the archipelago, Anjouan and Ngazidja, residents said. In Moroni, a small number of taxis moved around the centre of the city on Thursday morning and policemen and soldiers were deployed to remove debris and trees from blocked roads. Government offices and schools were closed.
