Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Over 300,000 families are without electricity in Nampula, northern Mozambique, as a result of cyclone Gombe, which hit the Mozambican coast at dawn on Friday, Mozambican state power company, Eletricidade de Mo\u00e7ambique (EDM) said in a statement.<\/p>\n

In total, according to the company, 300,329 families in 20 districts of Nampula province are without electricity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe technical teams from EDM\u2019s Transport and Distribution sectors are on the ground and on standby. However, atmospheric conditions have been major obstacles,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n

Storm Gombe reached the Mozambican coast at 03:00 (01:00 in Lisbon) in the category of intense cyclone with torrential rain and wind of 165 kilometres per hour, with gusts exceeding 200, announced the French weather centre on R\u00e9union island.<\/p>\n

The National Meteorological Institute (INAM), which monitors cyclones in the southwest Indian Ocean, said that Gombe came ashore between the villages of Mogincual and Terrene, 50 kilometres south of Mozambique Island, in Nampula province, the country\u2019s most populated province.<\/p>\n

This province is home to a fifth of Mozambique\u2019s estimated 30 million people.<\/p>\n

The area continues under cyclonic rain and wind as the storm moves towards the provincial capital Nampula city (150 kilometres inland), where weather conditions have been worsening since dawn, residents told Lusa.<\/p>\n

Storm Gombe hit Mozambique two years after cyclones Idai and Kenneth hit the central and northern regions of the country in what was one of the most severe rainy seasons in living memory.<\/p>\n
