Fiji flooding is worrying us... and Lenaic is flying back next Saturday

Floods in Fiji have claimed the lives of at least 10 people and 24 have dissappeared. Meteorologists say Fiji faces at least 3 more days of storms, in what has been described as the country's worst flooding in recent history.
At least one major international airline has scheduled extra flights to help evacuate stranded tourists. A rescue team is scouring the waters off the main island, Viti Levu, after a boat carrying 24 people was reported missing in its way to Suva.
Several days of heavy rainfall have inundated towns, submerged roads and washed away bridges on Viti Levu. A state of emergency remains in place in the west of the island, with the tourist hub of Nadi badly affected. "Stay where you are, and take extra care" Patiliai Dobui, the head of Fiji's Disaster Management Office said. Thousand residents are now in emergency shelters, after their homes were swamped by muddy floodwaters. Sugar producers say tens of millions of dollars worth of sugar cane fields have been destroyed.
The US and China have promised immediate assistance, as have Australia and New Zealand - despite the current diplomatic chill (both countries have sanctions in place against Fiji's military government in the wake of the December 2006 military coup)
