Mozambique faces threats of flooding and a huge rebuilding task after Cyclone Kenneth

PEMBA, Mozambique — Mozambique’s government urged many people to immediately seek higher ground on Saturday in the wake of Cyclone Kenneth, fearing flooding and mudslides in the days ahead as heavy rain lashed the region.

“There’s a very intense strip of destruction where the wind first made impact in coastal districts,” Nicholas Finney, response team leader with the aid group Save the Children, told The Associated Press after visiting Macomia district. The team found people in shock in a region where a cyclone had never been recorded in the modern age.

Some forecasts warned of as much as 250 millimeters of torrential rain, or about a quarter of the average annual rainfall for the region.
