oceanicfiji, you don't give the context either. The video is tltled cyclone thomas in fiji. it is misrepresenting the real devastation and the fact that this was worse than cyclone Katrina in the states, for many parts of fiji. people in fiji need years of help rebuilding, but this video will not help their efforts to get funds and help. how about taking it off youtube... the fact that media used is no justification (simply an indication of their desperation)

Cyclone Tomas has completely ravaged many of Rabi Island's villages. I'm sorry, but really don't think I would consider it "a breezy day".

I filmed this video in Suva when the Cyclone was still quite far away...I never purported it to be a massive storm but the video was used by a few news organisations without explaining the video in context.

had a cat 4 storm hit Suva, I wouldn't have been out filming at all.

Come to England, wind like that is so common that people don't even realize is. HA!

Hurricane Tomas was located approx 300km from where this video was made...i.e Suva was never affected unlike Labasa and Lau groups.
