Cyclone Freedy causes floods on the African coast in Mozambique , 1.75 million people are at risk

Freddy made landfall on Friday in the coastal town of Vilanculos with wind speeds of 113 kilometres per hour (70 miles per hour). It was classified as an “intense tropical cyclone” after strengthening over the Mozambique Channel. Freddy is projected to weaken as it barrels across Southern Africa, but it still poses a serious risk because it is forecast to generate heavy rainfall also in the neighbouring nations of South Africa, Zambia, Malawi and Botswana, according to the regional weather centre in Reunion. There is a potential risk that months’ worth of rainfall may fall in the space of a few days, causing widespread flooding in an area which already has saturated soils and high river basin levels from unusually heavy seasonal rains Up to 1.75 million people could be affected by the storm and severe flooding https://youtube.com/@naturaldisasters0708 #naturaldisaster #climatechange #storm #earthquake #tsunami #disasters #caughtoncamera #weather #volcano #cyclone #typhoon #african #mozambique #flood
