Cyclone Filipo hits Vilankulos – Captain Duarte Rato with video report

Cyclone Filipo hits Vilankulos – Captain Duarte Rato with video report

Cyclone Filipo hits Vilankulos – Captain Duarte Rato with video report: This cyclone has left all of us gobsmacked. She was so subtle as she brushed through Beira and headed south. She stalked up to Inhassoro. And then pounced on Vilankulos just after midnight. With even more energy and vengeance than last year’s tempest.

Winds got up to 200 kmh or so. Nothing is verified except for this report from Duarte this morning. Which includes stills and videos from the aftermath this very morning.

Heading South

Filipo has set her sights on Durban as she swooped over Tofo mid-morning too. She should be in Maputo by tonight and then dissipate towards Durban by dropping all its cargo. Rain. Rain. And more rain.

The north coast of KZN Natal is gonna get rained on hard again. Mpumalanga too.

And then tomorrow afternoon she will descend on Durban and hopefully by then have run out of steam.

Side effects

The side effects are the current heat waves we are experiencing all around the cyclone’s far fringes.

Spare a Thought

For the Mozambican communities who have to endure these regular storms. Now it’s all got to be put back together. To be ready for the next one. For just like a Mozambican chappa ride – there is always a worse one coming.
