Kameli Naitini of Votua Village in Lekutu, Bua says what they went through as Tropical Cyclone Yasa wreaked havoc in the Northern Division is something they never experienced before.
Naitini says they were taking shelter at the Lekutu District School when TC Yasa was hovering the Province of Bua and the strength of the wind damaged the school building.
He says some of the families had to take cover under the floor of classrooms because the roof was blown away and they stayed there until the weather calmed down as they feared for their lives.
