Strong typhoon expected in northern Fuji

Weather forecasters say a strengthening tropical cyclone that will rage in northern Fuji in two days is expected to flood houses.

Cyclone Daman, currently rated at the lowest Category 1 cyclone level, could dump 250 millimeters (10 inches) of rain and pack wind gusts up to 135 kilometers (85 miles) an hour over northern Fiji from Friday morning, duty forecaster Matt Boterhoven said.

That will mean considerable damage to local houses, trees and gardens and flooding from the first cyclone of the season in southwest Pacific region, he said.
