Tropical Cyclone Favio hits Mozambique


It arrived at about 2 hours after the time predicted on Wednesday!

Cyclone Favio made landfall in the central province of Inhambane near the town of Vilanculos and is heading inland towards the city of Beira.
Winds are reported to be in the range of 100mph-130mph (160km/h-200km/h).
The country is still struggling to cope with the effects of recent floods. An estimated 120,000 Mozambicans have already been driven from their homes.


Further details can be found in the report on the BBC news website.
