Fijians hunker down as severe storm heads their way

From , 5:03 am on 17 December 2020

More than 600-thousand people lie in the path of a powerful hurricane heading towards Fiji.

The Disaster Management Office is warning that Cyclone Yasa has the potential to be devastating.

The storm was upgraded on Wednesday to a category five, the strongest possible,  and is forecast to pass over Fiji late on Thursday, or early on Friday.

It's cyclone season in the Pacific, but as Christine Rovoi reports Yasa is not the first storm to hit Fiji this year.
