A father and daughter were swept away in a swollen stream as tropical Cyclone Tino caused widespread flooding in Fiji, forcing more than 100 people to take refuge in evacuation centres.
The incident happened on Thursday before the storm developed into a tropical cyclone, but a police spokesman linked the tragedy to “heavy rain brought about by the current weather system raised the river level”. “Please make the move as soon as you see the water begins to rise so that you and your family are safe,” she said.
“I haven’t fully rebuilt my house yet and another cyclone is coming our way. I am very worried about my house, but I cannot stay here when the cyclone hits.” While the Pacific islands are popular tourist destinations during the southern-hemisphere summer, it is also cyclone season.
