Excerpt:

Fiji residents are starting to tidy up after a powerful cyclone blew with the Pacific island nation. Cyclone Evan on Monday tore roofs from residences and churches, flooded roadways and forced thousands to leave their residences. Strong seas near the capital, Suva, pulled 2 container ships onto a reef. Authorities state they intend to refloat them. Overall, Fiji appears to have come with the storm fairly undamaged, with some locations yet to be assessed. There are no reports of deaths, the international airport at Nadi reopened Tuesday and a lot of tourist resorts sustained only minor damage. Power and interactions continue to be down in parts of the country. The storm previously created greater havoc on Samoa. Authorities on Tuesday deserted a look for 10 missing out on fishermen, bringing the death toll there to 14.
