Below is a satellite photo of the tropical storm Irina approaching the southern Mozambique coast and north eastern KZN. The Island of Madagascar can be seen to the east of Mozambique with the Mozambique channel between them.
The storm passed over Madagascar sometime last week and moved down the Mozambuiqe channel. Later this afternoon it will hit the southern Mozambique coast and north eastern KZN. We have been warned to expect extremely heavy rains and flooding, inhabitants of low lying areas along rivers, have been told to evacuate. Storm surges of between 5 & 6 meters, (15 - 20 feet) are expected along the coast.
About 28 years ago the the tropical storm Demoina wreaked havoc here and the weather prophets are saying this one could be as bad or even worse.
