    Thank you for the great footage, John. Wonderful that your village is safe. The look on your face when you walked out of the house in the early morning light conveyed your shock! I so appreciate your videos, watching from Sydney Aust. When I left Fiji many years ago I left my heart behind. Scouring the Fiji news channels on youtube these past several days for cyclone reporting but nothing close to what you have given us. I’ve been praying constantly the past week for the safety of the people of Fiji. So thankful that the damage was not as great as had been anticipated. And wonderful to see international aid pouring in. Ironic that the countries that are providing aid are on the other hand aiding and abetting global warming. God bless you all. Lolomas, Donna.

    A massive vina'a va'a levu Waka family for the TC Yasa vlog. Amazing footage of being in the eye of a cyclone. Great to hear you guys and the village survived relatively unscathed. The vlog has given me and my family abroad some sense of what our extended families in Bua would have sustained. As of now, we're still not able to contact them, we're hoping and praying they're all ok. Two cyclones in a year would cause havoc with the fruiting season of trees like 'uto'/breadfuit, avocado, coconuts etc. Hope the village garden/'were' isn't too badly damaged either.
    Take care, God bless and moce mada. 🙏🏽
