Mamoudzou: Residents of the French territory of Mayotte braced on Saturday for a storm expected to bring strong winds and heavy rain less than a month after the Indian Ocean archipelago was devastated by a deadly cyclone.
Mayotte was placed on an orange weather alert in anticipation of the passage of Cyclone Dikeledi to the south of the territory.
Authorities called for "extreme vigilance" following the devastation wrought by Cyclone Chido in mid-December.
Meteo-France predicted "significant rain and windy conditions", saying that very heavy rain could cause flooding.
The most devastating cyclone to hit France's poorest department in 90 years caused colossal damage, killing at least 39 people and injuring more than 5,600 in December.
