Cyclone Jade kills three in Madagascar

 Antananarivo (AFP) April 7, 2009
 Three people were killed and 800 made homeless by tropical cyclone Jade on the Indian Ocean island nation of Madagascar, the authorities said Tuesday.

"Two children and their mother died when their house collapsed" in a northern neighbourhood of the capital Antananarivo, a statement issued by Madagascar's disaster management authority said.

Jane made landfall on Monday in the northeastern region of the vast island and has now left Madagascar, but the heavy rains it left in its trail heightened fears of serious floods.

Madagascar's cyclone season is due end soon and had not caused any victims so far this year, whereas 42 people were killed in 2007 and at least 150 the previous year.
