In the ensuing hours, a strong storm is anticipated to make landfall in central and southern Mozambique (around 10:00 GMT).
After battering Madagascar’s east coast, where at least seven people were killed, Cyclone Freddy makes landfall.
It brought floods that affected 80,000 people, torrential rain, and strong winds that tore the roofs off of houses.
Mozambicans have been strengthening their roofs in preparation.
