Mozambique braced for cyclone

Flood-ravaged Mozambique has been warned to brace for a tropical cyclone.

Cyclone Flavio is located in the Indian Ocean less than 125 miles from the Mozambican Channel and was intensifying, with winds forecast to strengthen to 100 miles an hour.

"We call upon authorities in the provinces of Sofala, Inhambane and Gaza to take preventive measures," said Acadio Tembe, a spokesman for the national meteorology agency.

Mozambique has already seen almost 90,000 people displaced and 40 killed by serious flooding in the Zambezi river valley, straining disaster relief efforts as officials battle to get food and clean water to people in evacuation shelters.
