Cyclone Kenneth-- By Diya Ghayal

Summary: In Mozambique, the death toll from the tropical cyclone has risen to 38. This has been the strongest storm to hit the lands since "records" began. Over the next five days or so, forecasters stated that there could be more than 20 inches of rainfall, that can later on lead to excessive flooding. This slow-moving storm, is the second to hit Southeast Africa in five weeks, and will cause even more damage due to the short time between the two cyclones. Helicopters have been flying in the area for the past few days, trying to find a way to deliver necessary survival supplies, and to help people reach safety.

Analysis: This article was produced yesterday and was last updated at 12:19 p.m on Monday, April 29, 2019. This means that the article is up to date and the information is mainly accurate. THis article could be related to other cyclones and hurricanes that have caused a lot of damage. Examples include Hurricane Harvey in Houston, TX, Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane sandy, etc. This article was probably produced to target adults, hurricane survivors, those in Southeast Africa, etc. This article was made to keep the world aware of current natural disasters, and the extend of destruction they are causing. Without this article, I would have been unaware of the catastrophe happening in Southeast Africa, and of the people suffering.
