cyclone harold caused widespread destruction to fiji on wednesday. what is the latest?>> the cyclone gained momentum once again it is much stronger and flattened down lots of places along fiji and causing some destruction over the island countries there and it is in fact going to continue doing so for the next couple of hours. let's take a look at this video and see what has been happening there. the tropical storm has beeeen basically causing havoc across much of the fiji islands on wednesday, causing injuries and destroying buildings and it is also gusts stronger than 110 kilometers per hour rainfall of about 150 has been reported. some roads were closed due to flooding and it is continuing to cause lots and lots of havoc along those part so we urge people to please take care at all times, make sure you stay safe and please, please, go to higher ground as we are expecting more rainfall to persist toward the southeastern direction, which will certainly cause flooding and destruction along tonga, as it approaches. for japan, things have slightly changed. there is a bit
