Fiji declared a state of natural disaster on Thursday, ordering its entire population to take shelter ahead of a nightly curfew as a potentially devastating cyclone approached the Pacific Island nation.
Cyclone Yasa, a top category five storm, is expected to bring winds of up to 250 km per hour (155 miles per hour) and torrential rain across the South Pacific archipelago when it makes landfall overnight.
Still a few hours out from the worst weather, Fiji’s Meteorological Service said storm force winds and heavy rains have been recorded in some parts of the country already.
Images shared on social media showed roads blocked by landslides, floodwaters and fallen trees.
