🚨LANDFALL: Cyclone #Garance has become one of the very few storms to directly make landfall over Réunion in recorded history, slamming the SW Indian Ocean island tonight with 100+ mph (160+ kph) wind gusts and torrid sheets of rainfall as her rapidly collapsing eye moves onshore E of Saint-Denis. This marks the 6th Hurricane-strength landfall of the 2024-25 SW Indian Ocean Cyclone Season, which has already been cemented as the costliest and possibly even the deadliest season in the basin’s history (mostly due to Cyclone Chido).

The system has already registered 500 farmers and trained 25 technicians, with promising results.
#Mauritius goes to the polls today! Voting allows you to make your voice heard and decide on our freedoms, our future, our progress. So don't just sit around, go #vote! :-) #MUVote24
There is no social unrest in #Mauritius, no riot, no fights among people due to the general elections. Despite this, the government through the ICT Authority instructed all ISPs to block all social media platforms in the country until the general elections are over. @accessnow
UK agrees to give up sovereignty of remote Chagos Islands to Mauritius, in historic deal over one of its last overseas territories https://t.co/RpGm3JcQ6w
Now that everyone is on their way home, struggling through the flooded roads... a cyclone warning class III has been issued by the Mauritius Meteorological Services. #CycloneBelal🌀
🌀 Animation du modèle AROME de Météo-France.
On constate sur ce modèle de prévision, que le cyclone #BELAL s'évacue vers ESE puis Est tout en restant cyclone tropical. #LaReunion va retrouver des conditions moins dégradées.
BELAL passe bien au large au Sud de #Mauritius demain.
#Mauritius: Major FAIL from the Mauritian meteorological services who should've anticipated #Belal's impact on the weather conditions! Our citizens now have to commute back home in extremely dangerous cyclonic conditions. Pure #incompetency!! 🤬
#Mauritius: Courage et soutien à tous nos voisins réunionnais qui sont actuellement en alerte cyclonique violette. Le passage de l'oeil du cyclone sur la #LaRéunion entraînera une accalmie temporaire suivie de phénomènes dangereux d’intensité exceptionnelle. Stay safe! 🇷🇪 #Belal
⚠️ ALERTE VIOLETTE demain matin à partir de 06h pour l'île de #LaReunion.
Le plus haut niveau.
🟣Alerte jamais utilisée !
Confinement absolu pour tous.
🙏 Le danger est réel avec ce cyclone #BELAL. La situation est critique !
⚠️ Tropical Cyclone #Belal could make a direct landfall over Réunion Island on Monday with winds equivalent to a category 3 major hurricane.
The effects of the cyclone will also impact the main island of Mauritius on Tuesday, and Rodrigues Island later in the week.
3,2M d’entrées pour #Oppenheimer en près de 1 mois au #BoxOffice France. Le film de #ChristopherNolan dépasse The Dark Knight pour devenir le 3eme succès du réalisateur. La barre des 4M devrait être dépassée en fin de carrière
