Villagers in Cicia, Lau, are worried about how they will survive after the destruction caused by Tropical Cyclone Rae, which has severely affected their plantations.
Joji Tikoitoga says the experience of the Category 2 cyclone yesterday felt similar to that of a Category 4 cyclone.
Tikoitoga says they were fortunate that no houses were damaged, although there were some minor damages.
He adds today they will need to conduct a full cleanup in the village, as many fruit trees have been affected.
Meanwhile a resident from Nabavatu, Vanuabalavu described the weather system as horrible yesterday.
She says the whole system went over Vanaubalavu, and it felt like a system that was stronger than a category 2 cyclone.
