Cyclone Tomas clobbered Fiji March 12-15, wrecking villages and causing major flooding in the northern Lau and Lomaiviti island groups. Storm surges were up to 23 feet and were expected to take 36 hours to diminish. The northern area of Vanua Levu was also hit hard. A state of emergency will remain in place for 30 days in the northern areas, where services were still disrupted, but flights resumed March 16 to Fiji’s international airport at Nadi on Viti Levu.
