Tropical Cyclone Firinga produced record-breaking rainfall on the French overseas department of Réunion. It was the sixth named storm of the season, having developed on January 24, 1989 in the south-west Indian Ocean. Given the name Firinga, it moved generally southwestward for much of its duration. While the cyclone was approaching Mauritius late on January 28, it attained peak winds of 135 km/h (85 mph). Firinga passed 50 km (31 mi) west of the island, producing 190 km/h (120 mph) wind gusts that destroyed 844 homes. Heavy crop damage occurred on the island, and damage nationwide was estimated at $60 million (1989 USD). One person was killed in Mauritius.

  • Firinga (mot signifiant « orgueilleux » ou « capricieux » en langue malagasy, malgache) est le nom d'un cyclone tropical, le 6e système tropical de la saison 1988-1989, qui toucha l'archipel des Mascareignes et plus particulièrement l'île Maurice et l'île de la Réunion le 29 janvier 1989. Il a été à l'origine de nombreux dégâts et de records de précipitations, deux ans après le passage d'un autre cyclone tropical, moins violent, Clotilda. (fr)
