A Greate Storm At Asia - Today by presharthur(m): 4:02pm On Feb 20, 2016
A Great Storm Called Cyclone Winston Hit
Fiji which has made the
landfall on the Pacific nation’s main island,
Viti
Levu.
Cyclone Winston brought winds of over 321
kph
(201 mph), torrential rain and waves of up to
12m (40ft) , This has been a great
tremendous situation….
This event is very powerful to the extent
that Flights have been cancelled, evacuation
centres
activated and a nationwide curfew put in
place.
The category five storm – the highest level
– is
expected to move westwards over the main
island overnight Saturday and over Sunday
morning.
Before it landed, The Prime Minister Frank
Bainimarama warned that Fiji was facing “an
ordeal of the most grievous and tremendous
kind of event”.
“We must stick together as a people and
look
after each other. Be alert and be prepared,”
he
said.
Cyclone Winston has already brushed some
of
Fiji’s smaller islands, but the extent of the
damage is unclear.
Assessment teams are being sent to the
affected areas, the Fiji Times reported.
The Fijian capital Suva is likely to be spared
the
full forces of the storm but tourist resorts
are
close to the cyclone’s centre.
About 900,000+ people live on Fiji.

Let’s pray for Them…..
