Cyclone Freddy: Fast-flowing mudflow tears through Malawi village during record-breaking storm

Fast-flowing mudflow tore through a Malawi village as Cyclone Freddy brought a devastating storm to the country.

The cyclone has broken records for the number of times it has re-intensified after weakening.

It is the strongest typical cyclone on record and could be the longest-lasting one, the World Meteorological Organisation said.

At least 200 people are confirmed to have died after the cyclone hit southern Africa for the second time in a month.
