 VILANCULOS, Mozambique (AP) - A huge clean-up operation was under way Saturday in some of Mozambique's most popular resorts as the southern African nation's fledgling tourist industry struggled to recover from a devastating cyclone that left tens of thousands homeless.
Casualties from Cyclone Favio appeared to be limited thanks to a warning system and evacuations by authorities, with initial reports of 10 dead.
Vilanculos, which used to be an idyllic resort boasting some of Mozambique's most exclusive tourist lodges, was left in ruins, with mighty palms uprooted and the main road cut in half by a three-foot deep pothole. There was no electricity and no running water.
