Tropical Cyclone Freddy made landfall on Madagascar Tuesday evening, killing at least four people as it brought massive storm surges and wind gusts of up to 180 kilometers per hour that ripped roofs off houses.
The storm made landfall at around 7:20 pm local time on the east coast, and the country's National Risk Management Office (BNGRC) has called it one of the strongest cyclones to hit the island, even though it has since weakened.
