Flood in Madagascar
Tropical Cyclone Enawo has been classified as the most destructive storm to hit Madagascar in years‚ with winds in excess of 231 km/h, making it a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Wind Scale. Aid organisations are warning that more than 700‚000 people could be affected by the storm, but some reports suggest that there have already been fatalities and numerous injuries as the category-four cyclone nears the capital Antananarivo.
Furthermore, NOAA's National Hurricane Center reported that a Category 4 hurricane can severely damage homes and infrastructure; trees will fall and power poles will be downed, causing power outages to last from weeks to months. Consequently, most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months.
