Cyclone Chido: What we know about strongest storm to hit the French territory in over 90 years
Sunday, 15 December 2024 Close to a thousand people may have been killed as Cyclone Chido hit the French island of Mayotte on Saturday, according to the island's top official.
Officials have called the storm the most destructive to hit the archipelago in 90 years, with fears of a high death toll as the cyclone wreaks havoc across the region.
Cyclone Garance has wreaked havoc on France’s Reunion Island, leaving four dead and dozens missing. With wind speeds reaching up to 230 km/h (143 mph), the storm uprooted trees, flooded streets, and caused widespread destruction. Over 160,000 households are without electricity, and 310,000 are facing water shortages. Emergency teams, including firefighters and civil aid workers, have been deployed from mainland France and Mayotte. Authorities warn residents to remain cautious as cleanup efforts begin. The island’s international airport is set to reopen soon as the region recovers from the devastation.
