"Tropical Storm Manou is bearing down on the east coast of Madagascar in
this Terra MODIS image from May 7, 2003. As of the morning of May 8, the
eye of the storm was about 40 miles off the coast Madagascar. Manou was
expected to intensify briefly before making landfall, weaken a bit as it
moved southward along the coast, and then head back out over the southern
Indian Ocean, where it will intensify once again. As of the morning of May
8, the storm had sustained winds of 71 miles per hour. The rainy season in
Madagascar is typically November-April, during which time the island, which
is located off the southeastern tip of Africa, is subject to tropical
cyclones, averaging about 4 per year."
