STORYLINE:
Cyclone Favio swept ashore in central Mozambique on Thursday with sustained winds of 200 kilometres per hour (125 mph), bringing heavy rains and new misery to tens of thousands of people already forced from their homes by flooding.
A second storm, Cyclone Gamede, churned in the Indian Ocean northeast of Madagascar and threatened to make landfall in the same area of central Mozambique before dawn on Friday, officials said.
Favio moved ashore on Thursday at the tourist town of Vilankulo in Inhambane Province.
Some homes were destroyed and others had their roofs ripped off.
The government had evacuated many of the people in the area, taking them to higher ground further inland.
The cyclone hit an area already flooded from the torrential rains that have drenched central Mozambique since January.
Forecasters said Favio would also bring damaging winds and heavy rain to the provinces of Sofala and Gaza.
The government warned residents to seek shelter and to evacuate houses that could collapse in the storm.
About 30 people were killed in Mozambique and nearly 90-thousand forced from their homes by the earlier floods.
The government said 37-thousand people were being housed in tented camps before Favio.
Some 800 Mozambicans died in floods caused by two cyclones in 2000 and 2001.
