Delailasakau village headman Ratu Lino has tonight declared that they do not know what will be left for them when daylight breaks tomorrow.
Delailasakau is a village in the highlands of Naitasiri where the flight PC121 crashed into the hills some years back.
Ratu Lino said that the village felt the brunt of Cyclone Mick at 2pm this afternoon and the floodwaters started coming into the village.
Most of the villagers have their plantations beside the river and Ratu Lino said that most of their cash crops namely dalo and cassava were underwater at 4pm when the floodwaters rose.
No one was injured as most of the villagers moved to the Community Hall to look for shelter.
From Waidina in Naitasiri, DISMAC's Waisale Tora said the village of Vanuakula suffered extensive damages.
Residents of Deepwater in Tailevu have faced a full brunt of the cyclone as they await daylight to see the extent of the damages.
Resident Salesh Prasad said they are without power and water supply as few families living in low lying areas have moved to higher grounds.
Meanwhile, DISMAC Center in the West has confirmed that the power shut down in the West has caused water disruptions in many parts.
It has been confirmed that residents from Sigatoka to Rakiraki are facing water cuts.
