Officials said a cyclone has hit the west coast of Madagascar two days after another powerful storm left hundreds of people homeless on the Indian Ocean island, AP reported. Dia Styvanley Soa of the National Office for Disasters Preparedness said Cyclone Fanele made landfall at dawn Wednesday in Morondava district with rain and winds of up to 130 miles (210 kilometers) an hour. She says authorities are still waiting for full regional damage reports. She says a less powerful cyclone skirted Madagascar's eastern coast Monday and killed one person while leaving 27 injured and 992 homeless. Forecasters warn that a warmer-than-average summer in the southern hemisphere could mean stronger storms.
