Cyclone Kenneth had winds equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane.
Another strong cyclone hit Mozambique Thursday evening. It’s the second cyclone to rip through the area in less than two months. And according to the U.N., it’s the first time the country has been hit by two cyclones in the same season.
Cyclone Kenneth had winds around 140 mph before it made landfall, which is equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane. Three deaths were reported. The U.N. said “massive flooding” is coming, and more than 30,000 people have been evacuated.
Officials said Cyclone Idai killed more than 1,000 people and caused approximately $2 billion in damage when it made landfall last month and hit Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi.
