At the moment the cyclone is stationary
This means it will gain some strenghth 
But the cyclone doesn’t seem to affect Mauritius given the direction it will be moving but may affect Rodrigues seriously 
Nothing can be confirmed for now though because cyclones are like girlfriends

@Cyclone lover,
You are obviously a very foolish and selfish person who has never experienced the harsh realities of life. A cyclone devastates the lives and livelihoods of many people but especially the poor. It is never, and can never be, fun.

Rely on animals for best weather forecast.
Have you ever heard the saying that dogs act nervous and cats get frisky as kittens when a bad storm is on the way? Here are some other behaviors that is suppose to predict the coming of bad weather:
Frogs croak louder and longer than usual.
Roosters crow later in the day.
Birds fly lower to the ground and gather on tree branches and telephone wires.
Pigs squeal more and gather sticks to make a nest.
Cows lay down in the fields to feed, and lay down to ensure they have a dry spot to lay. Cows also run around the field with their tails raised high swatting flies before a storm.
Bees and butterflies seem to disappear from the flower beds they usually visit.
Red and black ants build up their mounds around the holes, and may actually cover the hole.
Fish jump out of the water and nip at low flying insects.
