on Sunday, leaving thousands of people homeless and causing serious damage
to several towns.

"ANTANANARIVO (Reuters) - Eighteen people were killed and at least 50,000
were left homeless after a tropical cyclone hit the giant Indian Ocean
island of Madagascar, in what was likely to be the country's worst storm in
10 years.
Madagascar issued a cyclone alert Saturday as Tropical Cyclone Gafilo
approached with winds of 124 miles per hour. Gafilo made landfall late
Sunday, churning across the northern part of the giant Indian Ocean island
and destroying buildings, uprooting trees and flooding towns."
