BEIRA, Mozambique: A powerful cyclone pounded northern Mozambique on Friday, leaving one person dead and wrecking homes and communications, barely a month after the country was hit by one of the worst storms in its history.
Cyclone Kenneth, a Category Three storm on the hurricane scale, made landfall in Cabo Delgado province late Thursday after swiping the Comoros islands.
By mid-Friday, its peak winds of 160 kilometers (100 miles) an hour had fallen back to about 70 kph, according to the national meteorological institute.
