1 MINUTE AGO: Cyclone Gezani Destroyed 75% of Toamasina — 31 Dead, 250,000 Affected
Descrição
🚨 1 MINUTE AGO: Cyclone Gezani Destroyed 75% of Madagascar’s Second-Largest City
On February 10, 2026, satellite imagery captured a perfectly defined eye spiraling toward Madagascar’s eastern coast. Sea surface temperatures near 29°C fueled rapid intensification. Within hours, Tropical Cyclone Gezani made landfall near Toamasina — the nation’s primary port and economic lifeline.
What followed was catastrophic.
🌪 Sustained winds near 185 km/h
🌪 Gusts approaching 270 km/h
🌊 Storm surge flooding low-lying streets
🏚 Roofs torn away, buildings collapsing inward
⚡ Entire city left without power
By morning, 75% of Toamasina’s infrastructure was damaged or destroyed.
At least 31 confirmed dead.
36 seriously injured.
4 still missing.
More than 250,000 people classified as disaster victims.
But this wasn’t a single disaster.
Just two weeks earlier, Cyclone Fytia struck the same region — killing 14 and displacing tens of thousands. Debris hadn’t been cleared. Power hadn’t been restored. Families were still in shelters when Gezani arrived.
This is what back-to-back catastrophe looks like.
Now, Gezani is moving into the Mozambique Channel, where warm waters could allow it to restrengthen. Forecast models suggest the possibility of another land threat in the coming days.
In this video, we break down:
• How rapid intensification occurred
• Why most fatalities came from structural collapse
• The devastating impact of consecutive cyclones
• The risk of restrengthening over the Mozambique Channel
• What this means for Madagascar and Mozambique
For nations in cyclone corridors, disaster isn’t an event — it’s a season.
And for Madagascar, that season has only just begun.

What kind of clueless moron is running this channel? What does "1 Minute Ago" mean? So your introduction to your audience is a bold face lie. Do you think that people can't see how long ago a video was actually posted? The title of this video is "Oregon Offshore Volcano" yet the video is about Madagascar. What is wrong with you people? STOP wasting our time with such nonsense videos!!!
