Cyclone Batsirai’s torrential winds and rain are hammering Madagascar, after landing on the island’s east coast.
People make their way home during bad weather in Tamatave, Madagascar, Saturday, Feb. 5, 2022. Weather officials forecast that the full force of Cyclone Batsirai is to hit Madagascar Saturday evening.
After gaining strength in the Indian Ocean with gale-force winds reaching peaks of 145 miles per hour, the cyclone made landfall near Mananjary, 500 kilometers east of the capital Antananarivo, according to the island’s meteorology department. “Almost all the houses are collapsed and the roofs are blown off. So almost all of us in Mananjary are affected," Razanivomanana said.
Much of Madagascar is already waterlogged from tropical storm Ana and heavy rains in January and the new cyclone is adding to the damage.
