Hurricane update - 24 February

Yes I know, I'm blogging about little else today. Gamede is closing in on the island of La Reunion in the Indian Ocean. Winds of up to 125 mph are expected. In the 24 hours until 6pm, 635 mm (25.4 inches) of rain fell on the highest summit in the island. It has now been placed on RED ALERT - all stay indoors, do not go out. Gamede is expected to start paralelling the coast of Madagascar early in the new week.

By the way, the different colours of the markers in the map of Mauritius merely indicated how recently they had viewed the blog. I've had a flood of viewers on the TC blog - nearly 300 yesterday, and now 200 until 6pm.
