2018 DEC 22 12h55 Mascareignes.
Le cyclone tropical intense CILIDA est centré à quelques 110km des îles sud de Saint Brandon en ce moment.
Dans son communiqué en anglais(voir ci dessous) MMS/Vacoas fait mention de rafales à 160km/h avec des pointes possibles à 200km/h alors que le cyclone passe en ce moment à son point le plus rapproché des îles qui sont peuplées par des pêcheurs et des officiels(Coast Guard et météo).
La mer est "démontée". A ce propos il faut savoir que les îles à peine plus élevées que le niveau de la mer sont souvent partiellement recouvertes(quelques fois entièrement) lors des grands épisodes cycloniques.
COURAGE à eux. On pense à vous...

The Intense Tropical Cyclone Cilida will start to move away from the region and winds will decrease gradually as from tomorrow. However, the sea will remain very rough with swells. The weather will remain cloudy to overcast in the outer cloud bands of Cilida with rain showers moderate to heavy at times with thunderstorms.

Saint Brandon(16.5°sud et 59.6°est): les îles sont touchées par la partie active du système. Les vents sont violents mais les vents les plus extrêmes(260km/h en rafales) devraient rester en mer.
