Tropical Cyclone Pam

Not sure if any of our down under members live close to this but I hope you guys & girls are OK. Heard another one is brewing up to so take care.

Tropical Cyclone Pam, one of the most powerful storms ever to make landfall, strikes Vanuatu, a group of islands northeast of Brisbane, Australia. Aid workers fear the death toll will rise.

Man, what a disaster! You have to feel for those people, they are poor to begin with, and now something like this.

It certainly is a disaster. Help will be needed urgently, especially food and water and not to forget medical help to stop Malaria in it's tracks as well as other diseases.
The UNHC has a big representation there so let's hope, they get of their backsides.
I lived there and the inhabitants are wonderful people.
