Tropical Storms - Roundup of Tropical Storms:
Tropical cyclone (tc) 19s (Fantala), located approximately 634 nm north-northwest of Port Louis, Mauritius, and is tracking southeastward at 09 knots.
This 175 MPH Big Red Blob is the Strongest Cyclone Ever Recorded in the Indian Ocean
Cyclone Fantala is now the third storm in the last six months to reach the “strongest on record” classification. Most recently, Tropical Cyclone Winston tore through the South Pacific as the strongest that had ever been recorded there. Before that, Hurricane Patricia was the strongest ever recorded in the Eastern Pacific.
Unlike Winston, fortunately, Fantala’s track over the Indian Ocean has the eye of this very intense cyclone steering wide of landmass as it travels well off the coast of Madagascar. Forecasters say even if it does make landfall on Madagascar, by the time it does, the storm will be significantly weakened. On Monday the storm passed over the Seychelles island chain, but it left nothing more than some structural damages and no injuries.
Tropical cyclone 20p (Twenty), located approximately 352 nm west of Avata, Samoa, and is tracking west-northwestward at 06 knots.
