Cyclone Evan update 7
Well it appears the worst has passed now. It is still raining but less wind. Have begun some clean up using rain water.
Went to the supermarket this morning for more supplies of candles, batteries, water, canned food, hand wipes, ice, drinks and chippies! Were there for about an hour and a half in the queue but there was no panic and everyone was very polite to one another.
Also went up to USP to check on things. The two big pulu trees on campus have blown over which was no mean feat. 1 has caused major damage to the classrooms and walkway nearby. There are also many other trees down and crops stripped. I guess there may be food shortages now as all the papaya and bananas in the country are gone. The library has huge puddles on the workroom floor.
There are also many powerlines down across roads and trees.
That is about it now for updates. I have heaps of photos and video but battery is crashing as we speak so until there is power there wont be much more from us.
Speak again soon

Cyclone Evan update 6
The 6ft tree next door at my friend house has come down on the roof which gave her a fright while she was sitting reading 50 shades of Grey in the middle of the cyclone! Thankfully the tree went between these two houses and not through the middle of one. No rain coming in at the moment

An update this morning on the situation. A bit calmer but word from NZ via text is that it might not be over yet. Radio Australia reports it may still come back round and intensify.
Water from the tap for us is now dribbling out, and we are on the good side of town for water. We are saving water from the roof in buckets and whatever containers we can find.
We gather there is a lot of damage in town and around. We are lucky to live in a solid concrete brick house, but even that leaked! We have many broken plants and debris around now.
Power is obviously still out.
As batteries are running low everywhere, getting news is hard. Radio station's were off air this morning so we feel a little in the dark for what is going on. Family, please keep texting as you hear reports.
Over and out for now.
