How many cyclones are present in the south Indian Ocean right now and do any of them have an eye?

Question

Look off the southern coast of Madagascar, and south of the equator towards Sumatra and Australia.

Can't tell TOO much from that full disk IR, but looks like a smorgasbord. I'd guess that in addition to Favio (you can even see the eye from the full disk...amazing!) there is another cyclone, a tropical storm and a depression (W to E). The second cyclone looks borderline cyclone/TS.

I could get more detailed info if I researched some more, but I'm feeling lazy attm. LOL

*edit* OK, here's a good link:

Apparently, the next "disturbance" to Favio's E is only a TS:
