Title
Districts hit by 2012 Tropical Cyclone Murjan [Somalia]
Description
This layer shows Somalia Districts struck by 2012 TC Murjan. They include, Bossaso, Bandarbeyla, Iskushuban, Garoowe and Eyl District. TC Murjan formed over the south Arabian Sea in association with an active inter tropical convergence zone during last week of October 2012. Moving west-southwestwards, it crossed Somalia coast between 1700 and 1800 UTC of 25th October near lat. 9.80N and long. 50.80E. The system could maintain its intensity of cyclonic storm till landfall, basically due to low to moderate vertical wind shear. TC Murjan caused heavy rainfall and strong wind over Somalia. The storm produced maximum wind speeds of 68.4Km/hr(40.2mph) and rainfall amounts of (100-200)mm. Flash flooding washed away livestock and bridges in the Bari region, causing some fatalities. 100,000 livestock were reported to have died as a result of the storm. After the landfall, due to land interaction, it weakened into a deep depression over coastal Somalia at 1800 UTC of 25th October. It further weakened into a depression over Somalia in the morning of 26th October while moving west-southwest wards
