Floods in Fiji Kill 6

Flooding in Fiji is very serious and has left six people dead and sent thousands seeking emergency shelter. In Fiji, more severe rain storms are expected in coming days according to officials on Monday. There were six people killed in the western district of the Pacific Nation's main island of Veti Levu. Four of them drowned in floodwaters and two were caught in a landslide.

There have been four days of torrential rains that have flooded the towns of Nadi, Ba, Sigatoka and Labasa and many rural villages. This has forced more than 6,000 people into emergency shelters. That has to be a horrible situation. I can't imagine what it would be like for so many people to be flooded out of their homes. There seem to be so many awful disasters happening in the world just lately.
