SUVA: Super cyclone Yasa slammed into Fiji's second-largest island on Thursday, tearing roofs off buildings as it triggered flash floods and landslides in the Pacific island nation.
After days of dire warnings about widespread destruction, Fiji's Met service said the top-of-the-scale Category Five storm made landfall on Vanua Levu late Thursday packing winds gusts of up to 345 kilometres an hour .
It said the cyclone, one of the most powerful ever recorded in the South Pacific, would be accompanied by monster waves exceeding 10 metres high.
