Local officials in the #French territory Mayotte fear as many as 1,000 people have died after Tropical #Cyclone Chido hit the archipelago off the coast of #Mozambique on Saturday. Emergency crews on Monday worked to rescue survivors amid scenes of devastation, with houses and schools destroyed and water, power and communications cut in what was the worst storm to hit the area in nearly a century. The death toll stood at 14 on Monday but local officials said it was likely higher. #weather #storm #worldnews #disaster
