    Cyclone Harold ripped through Vanuatu for a second straight day on Tuesday, cutting off communications in some areas and complicating the Pacific nation's efforts to respond to the coronavirus pandemic. The Category 5 cyclone made landfall on Monday on an island north of the capital, Port Vila. It cut off "many areas" of the country's northern provinces, authorities said. It was later downgraded to a Category 4 storm. Image Credit: AFP

    Last week, as Harold churned through the nearby Solomon Islands, passengers were washed from a ferry as they tried to make a dangerous journey through normally calm seas. Dozens are still missing and feared dead. Harold was moving eastward toward Fiji on Tuesday afternoon as a Category 4 storm, the Meteorology and Geo-hazards Division said. The agency estimated that the storm was churning along with maximum wind speeds of about 115 mph, and it advised residents to take extra precautions until the storm had completely left Vanuatu's waters.

That includes a virtual lockdown in Fiji and a ban on travel between Vanuatu's 83 islands. Image Credit: AFP
