Tropical storm Dineo's path of destruction
Tropical storm Dineo has caused damage to infrastructure, roads and houses after it hit the Inhambane area in Mozambique late yesterday.
Photos and videos of the ex-cyclone were posted on social media showing the magnitude of the storm as well as the destruction it left in its wake.
Power lines, trees and sheets of corrugated iron were strewn across roads while lodges along the coastline have been flooded.
The government of Mozambique has indicated that once the storm has passed, they will do a damage assessment and offer aid to those affected by the storm.

They have issued a warning of heavy rain that will last up until Saturday with the possibility of flash floods in the area.
