The cyclone which tore through Fiji two weeks ago was so powerful that at the Namena Island Resort, it ripped out a commercial oven and tossed it half the length of a football field. The cyclone not only ripped apart thousands of homes, it also tore at the fabric of the South Pacific nation’s economy. Apart from tourism, which accounts for one-third of GDP, it also wiped out a significant chunk of the sugar crop, another big source of foreign income.
