Powerful Cyclone Hits Mozambique
Cyclone Kenneth hit the north coast of Mozambique in Cabo Delgado province after swiping the Comoros.
The UN warned of flash flooding and landslides, France24 reports.
Some parts of the city are in darkness, and strong winds have felled trees and destroyed boats.
"Cyclone Kenneth is currently making landfall on the north coast of Mozambique," the UN World Food Programme (WFP) said in a statement.
"The Cyclone is expected to bring heavy rains in the area for several days, with over 600 millimetres rainfall expected."
That volume of rain would be nearly double the 10-days accumulated rainfall that caused flooding in Beira during Cyclone Idai.
Forecasters at Meteo-France warned that Kenneth could trigger waves off Mozambique's northeastern shore as much as five metres (16 feet) higher than usual.
