Tropical Cyclone Chido made landfall in Mozambique on Sunday after causing destruction in Mayotte, a French archipelago of about 300,000 people in the Indian Ocean, where at least 11 people died, France’s interior ministry said Sunday.

The prefect of Mayotte warned that the death toll could climb. Bruno Retailleau, France’s interior minister, said it will be difficult to account for all of the victims and that the government could not give a precise fatality figure at this point, Reuters reported.

The tropical cyclone had sustained wind speeds of 115 mph Sunday morning, according to the U.S. military’s Joint Typhoon Warning Center. That would make it a Category 3 hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean.

Chido made landfall in the northern province of Cabo Delgado, just south of the city of Pemba. As it pushes inland, the storm is tracking southwest and is expected to weaken significantly, according to a forecast.

However, Cabo Delgado and the neighboring province of Nampula will still endure strong gusts, heavy rainfall and hazardous sea conditions.
