    We had two cyclones in the last two/three months.

      I don’t think they were strong enough to be considered hurricane strength like Catarina. It’s the only one on record.

        They were stronger than usual (we actually had several cyclones this year if we count all of them) so I’m assuming that’s what OP referred to. I still slept through one of them without even noticing it so nowhere as strong as Catarina.

        This month’s winds reached 2/3 the speed of Catarina.
