The Indian Ocean archipelago of Mayotte is reeling from Cyclone Chido, the most intense storm to hit the French territory in 90 years, according to officials.

On Saturday, the French territory of Mayotte was overwhelmed by Cyclone Chido, a storm that left devastation and destruction in its wake. According to CNN, Cyclone Chido was a Category 4 storm which made its way through the southwestern Indian Ocean, hitting parts of northern Madagascar before it intensified and slammed into Mayotte.

Rescue workers are racing to save lives and repair damage wrought by Tropical Cyclone Chido in a string of islands across the southwestern Indian Ocean.
