All that is left of Cyclone #Kenneth is a disorganised mass of clouds. However, this will continue to bring rain to northern #Mozambique and southern #Tanzania over the weekend, which is likely to result in flooding.

#TropicalCyclone #Kenneth is about to make landfall, currently a strong Category 4 equivalent storm. If it maintains this intensity in the next few hours, it will be the strongest cyclone to hit Mozambique in known history.
#Mozambique DID NOT need this after #CycloneIdai

#Tropical Cyclone #Kenneth may become the northernmost hurricane-strength landfall on record in southern Africa Thursday, another devastating blow for Mozambique just weeks after #Idai. @wunderground Cat. 6 blog: bit.ly/2DvBjpH

Quiet Please - There are no active tropical warnings in the Northwest Pacific/North Indian Ocean, Central/Eastern Pacific, or Southern Hemisphere at this time. NASA's EPIC camera aboard NOAA's #DSCOVR satellite, located 1 million miles from Earth captured this picture yesterday.

I'm sure the US news cycle has forgotten it, but more than 1,000 people have now died as a result of the unprecedented Cyclone Idai and 4,000 cholera cases have bloomed in it's wake in Mozambique alone. #ClimateChange #CycloneIdai

Homes destroyed. Roads washed away. Crops ruined. Four days after making landfall, Cyclone #Idai has left more than 400,000 people in need of immediate assistance. You can help: buff.ly/2TmMx4Y #CycloneIdai #Mozambique

Shear and cooler waters have weakened #Gelena to a severe tropical storm and Gelena will likely weaken to a post-tropical depression Monday night or early Tuesday.

Tropical Cyclone "Gelena" brings widespread flooding, leaves Rodrigues without power dlvr.it/Qyb0TX #TCGelena #CycloneGelena #Gelena #Rodrigues
Standby Task Force retweeted
#Cyclone #GELENA is moving ESE, toward #Rodrigues #Mauritius, with winds of 115 knots. Core will pass very close to island early Sunday morning. It's late Saturday afternoon there—so preparations should be completed ASAP and before dark. If this hits, it'll be very dangerous.
