Cyclone Favio
In the light of what has been said on this web site recently the following should be noted.
A Category 4 storm with winds of up to 230 kilometers per hour (144 mph) surged ashore in southern Mozambique on Thursday, 22 February 2007, ripping through buildings, knocking over power pylons and raising fears of new flooding.
The storm hit Vilanculos, some 800 kilometers (500 miles) north of the capital Maputo, damaging the tourist town's courthouse, prison and market and destroying several houses.
Cyclone Favio, the strongest to hit the southern African country, was then heading towards the Zambezi River valley where it was likely to worsen floods that have already killed some 40 people and driven 120,000 from their homes.
Mozambique's worst disaster in recent memory occurred in 2000-2001 when a series of cyclones compounded widespread flooding in southern and central parts of the country, killing 700 people and driving close to half a million from their homes.
Officials have said that the storm was reportedly stronger than Cyclone Eline, which devastated Mozambique in 2000.
After all that has been said on this web site concerning time measure of Revelation being a bit more than two thousand years from the time of the birth of Jesus Christ (between 7BC and 4BC) and the increase of wind storms in the far reaches of the earth, it is interesting that these two times of major cyclones occurred in Mozambique, seven years apart, between 2000 and 2007.
