 MAPUTO, Mozambique (AP) - Cyclone Favio swept ashore Thursday in central Mozambique with sustained winds of 125 mph, bringing heavy rain and new misery to tens of thousands of people already forced from their homes by flooding. A second storm, Cyclone Gamede, churned in the Indian Ocean northeast of Madagascar and threatened to make landfall in the same area before dawn Friday, officials said.
As Favio moved ashore at Vilankulo south of Beira, it destroyed some homes and ripped the roofs off of others.
The government had evacuated many of the residents further inland.
