Wise. You wouldn’t … Wise. You wouldn’t get out of Nadi at the moment. It’s worse today than yesterday. The Denarau road (ie Narewa Rd) is closed. Narewa Village is totally under water.
Thank you - thought … Thank you - thought as much (to both questions). Suspect your video was Denarau Rd (ie Narewa Rd) to intersection/traffic island at Nadi Bridge, then you turned left ie the blue shops on left. Thanks again.
I’ve also found the Fiji TV website which contains all their news broadcasts so that has been very helpful too.
You returned home just in time by the looks. So sad!

Unfortunately waqadra was hit quite badly, unless they are on a high place chances are they were evacuated to higher ground.
The bridge into Nadi town was completely screwed and i don’t think anyone can go into town as yet.
