Cyclone Idai (2019): The Deadliest Cyclone in African History
Descrição
Disasters Rewound: A mini-series by @WeatherFollower ... Unpacking history's most infamous storms and the stories behind their lasting impact.
In March 2019, Intense Tropical Cyclone Idai struck southern Africa, becoming the deadliest storm in the history of the South-West Indian Ocean.
In this episode of Disasters Rewound, we track Idai's complex 15-day lifetime. From its deceptive beginnings as a flooding depression over Malawi to its rapid intensification into a 260 km/h monster in the Mozambique Channel, we look at the mechanics behind Africa’s costliest weather disaster. Discover how a catastrophic 4-metre storm surge cut off the city of Beira, and how torrential rainfall triggered deadly mudslides in the mountains of Zimbabwe, leaving a $3.3 billion path of destruction.
