Anybody remember Katrina? Well, the one below was harder and few if anybody in North America know anything about it. The Cyclone struck -after- extensive floods had already created tremendous damage.

Cyclone Favio strikes Mozambique

A tropical cyclone has struck central Mozambique with strong winds destroying homes, causing blackouts and injuring at least 20 people, officials said.

Cyclone Favio made landfall in the central province of Inhambane, near the town of Vilanculos, and is heading north towards the city of Beira.

Winds reportedly hit 170mph (270km/h) and there are fears of flooding.

Mozambique is still struggling after floods left an estimated 120,000 people homeless earlier this month.
