Somalia's Strongest Tropical Cyclone Ever Recorded Could Drop 2 Years' Rain In 2 Days

          Tropical Cyclone Gati made landfall in Eastern Africa on Sunday. The strongest tropical storm ever seen in the North Indian Ocean is poised to drop two years worth of rain in a matter of days over Somalia. In a matter of hours Gat increased its wind speeds from 40mph to 115mph. Due to climate change we are now seeing stronger category 3 storms further and further south in this region. Impacted regions include Socotra, Somalia, Yemen, and western Oman.
