1910 cyclone Mozambique “thousands killed”

I think the cyclone hit in April 1910 but our press reports are dated May and June. Can anybody find better confirmation of the death toll?
The UN has been saying “Cyclone Idai ‘might be southern hemisphere’s worst such disaster’ “
Please report any other comparable severe cyclones recorded in our old newspaper files.

  1. Cyclone Leon–Eline in 1968 was quite a devastating event mainly for its longevity (29 days). Not sure if it was as destructive as Idai though a friend from Zimbabwe who was there at the time claims it was.
