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
