PEMBA, Mozambique/JOHANNESBURG - Rescuers were racing to help people caught in fast-rising floodwaters in Mozambique’s cyclone-hit city of Pemba on Sunday, as houses collapsed in one neighborhood and heavy rain raised fears of worse to come.
The impoverished southern African country is still recovering from another powerful cyclone that hit further south last month, submerging an area of 3,000 square km and killing more than 1,000 people in Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi. Residents tried frantically to bail water out of their houses with plastic buckets, but many quickly flooded in the torrential rain. Others stacked sandbags outside their homes to keep the rising water out, while elsewhere small, rapid rivers formed, carving trenches into the street.
Weather forecasters had warned that Kenneth, with winds of up to 280 km per hour when it made landfall, could dump twice as much rain on northern Mozambique as Cyclone Idai did near the port city of Beira last month.
