As cyclone nears, Mauritius and Madagascar brace for floods, storm surge
Mauritius grounded flights and shut its stock exchange as tropical cyclone Freddy approached the island in the Indian Ocean on Monday, while emergency teams braced for heavy rains, floods and landslides in four regions on Madagascar.
The cyclone, packing wind gusts of up to 120 km per hour (75 miles per hour), posed a direct threat to Mauritius, its weather service said.
"As Freddy approaches ... (a) storm surge is likely to cause coastal inundation in risk areas. It is, therefore, strictly advised" not to go to sea, the service's bulletin said.
Torrential rains... very high to enormous seas... and a significant risk of coastal flooding are particularly to be feared in the localities around the point of impact," Madagascar's weather service said.
The government's disaster management office was sending tents, ropes, chainsaws and other supplies to four districts most likely to be affected by the storm, officials added.
The Indian Ocean islands and Mozambique on Africa's coast have been hit by a string of deadly storms and cyclones that have forced thousands to flee, destroyed buildings and ruined crops.

Mauritius, Madagascar brace for Cyclone Freddy
Authorities in Mauritius on Monday issued a warning urging residents to take all precautions and shelter in safe places as Cyclone Freddy rapidly approaches the island nation.
The Mauritius Meteorological Services said wind gusts near the cyclone’s center are about 280 kilometers per hour (174 miles per hour).
“On this trajectory, Freddy continues to dangerously approach Mauritius and represents a direct threat. Active cloud bands associated with Freddy have started to influence the weather in Mauritius,” read a statement.
According to local media reports, authorities have cancelled flights and halted public transport as a precautionary measure.
Cyclone Freddy is expected to make landfall in Madagascar later on Tuesday, nearly a month after Tropical Cyclone Cheneso devastated the Indian Ocean island, killing some 30 people.
Freddy is forecast to wreak more damage than Cheneso, according to officials.
