"I think there are some several hundred dead, maybe we will get close to a thousand, even thousands ... given the violence of this event," Bieuville was quoted by media as saying. The prefect said it was "extremely difficult" to establish an exact number of victims at the moment. The powerful cyclone, packing winds of more than 124 miles per hour, also lashed the islands of Comoros, Madagascar, and Mozambique.
