After surveying the least active seasons in the last 30 years, we wanted to see if, during these seasons, the habited lands had been relatively spared. In order to do so, we have retained only systems that have passed within 100 km of an habited region and with a minimum intensity of Moderate Tropical Storm. It turns out that of these 8 less active seasons, only 1 (2000/01) was lenient for the populations. All others have seen at least 1 system affect populated areas. Some of them even marked impress. Among the most striking are Cyclone CLOTILDA (Fev 1987), which hit Reunion hard, cyclone BELLA (Jan 1991) which swept Rodrigues or cyclone BINGIZA (Fev 2011), which caused desolation in the north-east of Madagascar. One can also speak of the case of this unbaptized Storm of February 2006 which had passed 70 km to the north of Mauritius. For reasons unknown, the Meteorological Mauritius Services did not baptize at the time, whereas the RSMC of Reunion considered that this system had at the height of its intensity reached the stage of Strong Tropical Storm. And what about 2015/16 that saw the FANTALA monster plunge the Farquhar into chaos.
