December Tropical Storm

In Suva we had three rainy weeks in a row.  There were two tropical depressions back to back, luckily they did not grow to Cyclone wind strength.  They were slow moving, however, and the amount or rain we received was beyond belief.  Local old-timers don't remember a time of so much hard rain for so many days.  This culminated in flooding along streams and rivers, as they come out of the central hills they gain momentum and move lots of debris down hill.

Rewa River out of its banks, Princess Road looking toward Nausori town.

More Rewa river.

Along Kings Road, near Korovou, power poles knocked down
by water flow.

Lane collapsed on King's on way to Korovou.

Same loss of lane.
