From Morning Report, 8:34 am on 1 February 2021

A battered Fiji is taking stock this morning after category two Cyclone Ana delivered strong winds and heavy rain to the main islands - Viti Levu and Vanua Levu.

Late yesterday, authorities announced a 49-year-old man had drowned and that five people were missing after flooding affected numerous towns and villages.

Nearly 10,000 people were forced to take shelter in evacuation centres, while wind gusts of nearly 150km/hr downed trees and destroyed crops.
