AccuWeather South Africa reported that the most serious situation for Beira would unfold if Idai makes landfall just to the north of the city, resulting in the highest amount of water piling up around

the mouth of the Pungwe River. Storm-surge flooding may also spread farther up the river, inundating homes and businesses.

The winds can cause devastating damage, including to well-built framed homes, in the vicinity of landfall. Electricity and water may be unavailable for several days to weeks after the storm. According to the Saffir-Simpson scale, Cyclone Idai is now an extremely dangerous category 4 storm and has explosively intensified in the past 8 hours, which is expected to make landfall by tomorrow.
