By: Alex NunezThe storm first hit the Indian Ocean nine days ago. Today 65 five are dead, 70,000 have been left homeless and three have been reported missing after Cyclone Irina yesterday. The worst of the storm were floods and landslides. Information is slowly coming in from the remote, isolated areas of Madagascar. Sadly this was not the worst the people of Madagascar have seen this year. Earlier, Cyclone Giovanna killed 35 people and left 240,000 homeless. The worst of Cyclone Irina was left in Madagascar as it went on to batter South Africa and Mozambique. Tropical storms and cyclones like Irina and Giovanna are regular around Feburary and May's rainy season in Madagascar. It is also the world's fourth largest island.
