Cyclone Idai: Mozambique braces for 'worst-case scenario' storm
14 March 2019
People living in one of Mozambique's largest cities have been warned to expect the "worst-case scenario" as a major cyclone makes landfall.
Cyclone Idai, which is carrying winds of up to 225 km/h (140 mph), is making landfall near the port of Beira.
A storm surge of at least six metres (20 feet) is expected near low-lying Beira, a city of 500,000 people, Météo France said.
Heavy rains have already killed about 100 people in Mozambique and Malawi.
