Strong winds and heavy rain slammed the tiny volcanic island located 650km to the east of Mauritius as the cyclone moved slowly by . At its closest point, the eye of the storm was about 80km from the island, which is home to about 40,000 people.
The cyclone made slow progress, only moving around 15 kilometers per hour, which ensured Rodrigues had a prolonged onslaught from the cyclone. Winds on the north coast, gusted over 100km/h for over 33 hours.
The Mauritius Meteorological Services issued a Special weather report Wednesday 27 March 2019
High Wave warning for Rodrigues valid until Friday 29 March 2019.
The intense tropical cyclone JOANINHA is generating heavy swells of the order of 5 meters which are influencing the sea state around Rodrigues.

At HVN Earth News, our staff of reporters cover hurricanes and cyclones worldwide. Our professional storm chasers have meteorological training that allows them to understand the storms they're tracking. They know when conditions are safe and when it's time to back off. Simply put, we do it to save lives.

We're interested in the processes that control storm formation and intensification, weather satellites watch hurricanes from orbit, snapping visible images of swirling clouds and measuring weather patterns with radar and infrared sensors. Today's satellites can track temperatures inside a storm, cloud heights, rain, snow and wind speed. When we are tracking storms, we have access to the best forecasting tools available. Our goal is to keep you informed.
