ANTANANARIVO, Madagascar (AP) — Madagascar's disaster officials say at least 14 people have died and 32,000 have been affected by Tropical Storm Hubert.

The storm hit the southeast coast of the Indian Ocean island nation on Wednesday.

Madagascar's National Office for Disaster Preparedness said Friday that many homes have been destroyed by flooding.

Madagascar lies off the southeastern coast of Africa and is in the main storm path of the Indian Ocean basin.

It normally has three or four major cyclones each year. Fame, Ivan and Jokwe killed more than 100 in Madagascar in 2008 and affected 300,000 others.
