[quote:Rain-Man:MV8yMDgzMTU1XzM1MDc1NjQ1X0Y2NzIwOTMx] Samoa cyclone damage worse than 2009 tsunami Disaster officials in Samoa say the damage from Cyclone Evan is worse than that caused by the tsunami in 2009. Most of the country is without power and more than 4500 people are homeless. Flood waters still surround villages and homes along the southern coast. The situation there is desperate, the damage extensive. Matautu Tai Lefuga resident Shirley Sera spent the day sifting through what remained of her home. “This is where I live and thank God I was able to stay alive with my daughter and my family,” says Ms Sera. Disaster officials say on the south coast alone more than 1000 homes have been destroyed. “It [the 2009 tsunami] was focussed on the southern coast of Upolu, but for this one the whole country is affected,” says Filomena Nelson, response coordinator for the tsunami.

Original Message
After leaving a destructive path in Samoa last week, the category four system is bearing down on Fiji.
Evan is 480 kilometres wide and packing winds of 230 kilometres per hour, making it the strongest cyclone to threaten the country in 20 years.
"The north-eastern part is already experiencing the effect of the cyclone," he said.
Schools are being converted into evacuation centres and the police and military are on standby.
