"I can see some houses with roofs torn apart, broken windows and the streets flooded. It's really scary." According to the World Meteorological Organization, the previous record was held by a 31-day hurricane in 1994. The cyclone is slow-moving, which meteorological experts say means it will pick up more moisture off the sea, bringing heavy rainfall.Around the world, climate change is making cyclones and hurricanes wetter, windier and stronger, scientists say.
