Description
The fire brigade at the Saint-Denis emergency centre on Reunion island is preparing to respond to the passage of Cyclone Garance, which has brought heavy rain and violent winds. Winds of up to 230 kilometres (143 miles) per hour battered the territory of 900,000 people and the storm earlier forced the closure of the main airport on nearby Mauritius. Power outages affected around 145,000 people across the island, while 82,000 had no drinking water and 39,000 were without internet access, authorities said. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
