Massive #cholera outbreak in #Mozambique (due to #CycloneFreddy). Almost 21,000 cases and 95 deaths. https://www.voaafrica.com/a/massive-mozambique-cholera-outbreak/7030449.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Too long for Twitter thread or Facebook post, I share some personal reflections on #CycloneFreddy. https://jeffsjottings.wordpress.com/2023/03/24/freddys-path-seems-pretty-weird-to-me/

The death toll from #CycloneFreddy in southern #Africa has exceeded 500, authorities said. In #Malawi alone, 438 have been confirmed dead with at least 282 more missing and 918 injured.

@catarinac Aquela imagem inicial tirarem agua das campas para poderem enterrar os mortos é emocionalmente devastadora😟

@catarinac O video que partilhei acima a partir dos 08:30 (https://youtu.be/ID_9wMgmJZg?t=513) explica o que Moçambique fez após o ciclone Idai em 2019 para estar melhor preparado para este tipo de eventos tanto a nível de seguir o percurso dos ciclones como os sistemas de alertas prévios às populações. Apesar das vidas perdidas evitou aquilo que seria uma catástrofe pior que o Idai

A preparação para o aumento deste tipo de eventos infelizmente tem de acontecer #CycloneFreddy

@catarinac Bateu todos os recordes de longevidade (+ de 1 mês de atividade). Formou-se perto da Austrália, atravessou o Indico, atingiu Madagáscar e Moçambique e em vez de se dissipar como esperado voltou ao mar ganhou força e atingiu uma 2ª vez Moçambique e depois o Malawi, país menos preparado que Moçambique que procurou melhorar a resposta a estes eventos extremos após o Idai em 2019

I can't believe this storm has been going one for over a month, and didn't make it to the cover of any of the newspapers I skim through regularly. I only found out because I tuned in to Al Jazeera at lunch time.😞 #CycloneFreddy

Things in Malawi look really bad 😞 #CycloneFreddy and Mozambique seems to also have been affected.

#SouthernAfrica bore the brunt of #CycloneFreddy 37-day wrath. Recovery is far from over 😢

So, for those of you who have conservative friends or relatives who question the science behind climate change and want examples of climate change pointed at them, here is Cyclone Freddy.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-03-16/cyclone-freddy-wanes-after-battering-malawi-mozambique/102103592

Record breaking cyclone in that it lasted for 5 weeks, and had the highest accumulated cyclone energy ever recorded. It is also one of only 4 cyclonic systems to traverse the Indian ocean, the other 3 all having happened in the last 30 years (two in 2000). It also reformed 7 times into cyclones, which is a first.

This shit is going to become more common. It's beyond time to address climate change
