by Associated Press

   JOHANNESBURG --

   Officials in Madagascar say a cyclone that made landfall in the
   northeast of the country has killed at least three people, left nearly
   500 people homeless and damaged schools and other buildings.

   The daily newspaper L'Express de Madagascar quotes disaster officials
   as saying a 5-year-old child was among those killed after Cyclone Enawo
   hit the island nation with strong winds and rain on Tuesday.
   The storm was expected to move south through the island nation for
   several days, affecting the capital of Antananarivo on Wednesday.
