Not sure this been covered...
This is proving to be the worst Cyclone in Africa history... 0nly now seeping through on mainstream... Millions displaced.
As Mozambique counts the cost of Cyclone Idai, the BBC's Africa editor Fergal Keane joined a helicopter flight over some of the worst-affected areas.
The pilot pointed towards the east across the expanse of brown water. "We are 15 miles from the sea," he said, "but it feels as if we are right over it." He was right. Below us, farmland that had been home to thousands of people had disappeared.
After days of rain, the River Pungwe - which meets the sea at Beira - broke its banks and flooded the surrounding countryside.
A few miles further on we saw the first groups of people. They were clustered on a narrow spit of higher ground, several hundred survivors of Cyclone Idai waiting for rescue.
Their homes were inundated with water. Even from the air it was clear they had salvaged very little.
