Stormy Skies Over La Reunion: Cyclone Garance Makes Landfall

Cyclone Garance hit the French island of La Reunion with gusts of up to 155 kph, leaving extensive damage. About 42% of homes lost electricity, and almost 10% lack drinking water. The cyclone swept roofs away and affected vital services. Though there are no reported casualties, people are still advised to remain indoors as tough weather conditions continue. The cyclone warning has been reduced from purple to red, which means that emergency services can start evaluating damage and offering assistance. Neighboring Mauritius has reopened its airport as the threat of the cyclone recedes. Authorities remain closely monitoring the situation.
