La Reunion and Mauritius Getting Blasted by Bejisa Tropical Cyclone Bejisa's eye is just 85 miles west northwest of La Reunion, however, its influence is still very much felt on both islands. Maximum sustained winds in the storm are 110 knots (126.5 mph) with gusts to 135 knots (155 mph). This is a hurricane strength storm. Wave height has been measured at 35 feet. Both La Reunion and Mauritius islands are being affected by the outer bands of the storm.

Bejisa is moving southeast and is at peak intensity. The storm will pass just west of La Reunion late on January 3, before veering southwest and weakening rapidly. The hazard on both islands consists of high swells, high winds and heavy rain. Gusts of 94 mph have been reported on La Reunion in the last hour.
