Cyclone Meena, a CAT 5 monster, narrowly misses a direct hit on Rarotonga on 07 Feb 2005 Stormchaser Geoff Mackley was there... more info on http://www.emergency.co.nz/archive/meena.html
i was dea wen dey all hit we stayed at our house ryt next 2 da runway on da beach side till we decided 2 move 2 matavera till it stopped now aitutaki fukin hell wats happein man!!!
I was there during all 4 cyclones and I must say it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. But the clean up after the cyclones passed, is something I don't intend doing ever again.
I went there a couple of weeks after the 05 hurricanes. The destruction was bad enough the mountains had big bald patches where there used to be vegetation.
Amazing footage, Goeff! I love how you chase cyclones in areas you rarely ever see film from. Thats some of the best storm surge footage I have ever seen.
I wonder what its like up high in those razor back mountains whenever a strong hurricane hits. The winds must be incredible.
It looks like a tsunami.
