As a reminder of the power of storms in the tropics, you can check out news about Cyclone Winston in Fiji. One short internet article is on Slate (22 February 2016) "Fiji after Cyclone Winston" by Eric Holthaus www.slate.com. 21 fatalities reported, the pictures of damage speak for themselves.
I have only visited Fiji as a tourist, but the scenes of damage look very familiar to me. Pacific Islanders are tough and resilient, but right now Fiji can use all the help it cn get. I hope the village and national social structure remains intact and helps them recover.
