Cyclone 'Kenneth' destroys Mozambique five weeks after Idai hit him
- The disaster in Mozambique: if in March Cyclone Idai, the most violent one ever known in this African region, devastated the city of Beira and its surroundings, five weeks later an even stronger storm, Hurricane Kenneth, fell there.
In northern Mozambique, Cyclone Kenneth has entered the sea by the side of Cabo Delgado, bringing with it winds of 225 km/h and torrential rains that will cause waves of up to 5 meters on the coast. It has arrived in Pemba, in Mozambique, after passing through the islands of Madagascar and Komore, and like Tanzania, it will also capture Malawi in the next few hours.
Nominated by experts as a level 4 cyclone, the thing is that on this shore of the African Sea a storm as big as this is curious and that this year, within five weeks, is the second. Renowned meteorologist Eric Holthaus has anticipated that Kenneth will be in place for many days, as his situation in the upper atmosphere makes him little vulnerable: "This has never happened in this region and in the world it has happened in very rare periods, when a cyclone has survived for so many days," he said.
Holthaus warned in March that Cyclone Idai is a palpable proof of the disasters climate change causes in several regions of the world: "Cyclone Idai is not a natural disaster: climate change, secular colonialism and continuing international injustices have aggravated the storm." Storm Kenneth is right for him, as he sees at the moment. Cyclone Eric Holthausen "Idai", launched in March by ARGIA, has highlighted the injustice that lies in climate change."
