I hope the residents of the valleys in Northern Somalia get adequate warning as the flooding can be dangerous.

I think storms of this magnitude are rare in this part of the world but I remember watching a BBC documentary that stated cyclones could reach as far as the Red Sea as global temperatures increase. I'll try to find it.

It's called Global Weirding and was done by BBC Horizon. There was a full length posting of it on Youtube, but I can't find it anymore.

There was apparently another tropical storm that made landfall in the same region a few months ago: Tropical Storm Murjan
