Cyclone Idai may have killed more than a thousand people in Mozambique, the country's President, Filipe Nyusi, said in an address to the nation broadcast on national radio Monday.

"Officially, we have a record of more than 84 dead but everything indicates that we can have a record of more than 1,000 dead," Nyusi said, adding that "100,000 people are in danger."

Nyusi was speaking after taking a flight over affected areas to view the destruction and rescue efforts.

He called the situation a "real humanitarian disaster of large proportions."

1. There's major damage in Malawi and Zimbabwe as well

and Cyclone Trevor is heading to Australia as I type - notice how quickly this intensified just like the Atlantic hurricanes for the past two years.

Earth’s next significant tropical cyclone is Trevor, which is heading toward landfall on the east coast of the Cape York Peninsula in far northeast Australia. Tropical Cyclone Trevor was a slow-moving but rapidly organizing tropical cyclone early Tuesday local time, drifting west at only around 4 mph. Top sustained winds were initially estimated at 65 mph by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) at 12Z Monday, but that number was later revised to 80 mph. Satellite imagery by 18Z suggested that a small eye was forming and that Trevor was already packing winds of up to 105 mph (see embedded tweet below), and the 18Z advisory from JTWC affirmed that Trevor was a Category 2 storm with 105 mph winds. Trevor intensified a remarkable 65 mph in just 24 hours.

Light wind shear (under 10 knots), strong outflow at upper levels, and unusually warm sea surface temperatures around 84°F (29°C) (about 0.5°C above average) will allow Trevor to rapidly intensify before landfall early Wednesday local time. The HWRF model suggests that Trevor will make landfall as the equivalent of a Category 2 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale. Given the ongoing rapid intensification, a Category 3 equivalent seems quite plausible, and even stronger intensities cannot be ruled out. Trevor is expected to strike just south of the Aboriginal coastal community of Lockhart River, which has about 600 residents. This landfall location would put Lockhart River on the less intense side of Trevor’s clockwise
