The second powerful cyclone to rip into Mozambique in just six weeks has stunned residents in a region where such storms had not been recorded in the modern era.
Three deaths were reported from Cyclone Kenneth and the United Nations warned of “massive flooding” ahead.
Kenneth had maximum sustained winds of 220km/h, equal to a Category 4 hurricane, before it made landfall on Thursday evening in far northern Mozambique, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center said.
It was the first time in recorded history that the southern African nation has been hit by two cyclones in one season, the UN said.
