The Public Works Department has called on the public to exercise caution during this weather.
A senior Engineer Narendra Rama confirms that Waila road in Nausori, Wainivesi Road in Korovou, Beqa and Tadro road in Navua have been closed as there are water on the road.
In Namosi Naitasiri Salaidrau and Wainikavo road has been closed due to land sliding and fallen trees and in Ovalau Levuka, Rukuruku culvert has been washed away.
Toga bridge in Nausori is under water as flood water is rising.
The Director of the Nadi Weather Office says it's time to stop the blame game. Rajendra Prasad is annoyed with criticism that notice of the approach of Cyclone Gene came late. He says the weather office issued strong wind warnings on Sunday before the tropical depression quickly rose to cyclone status on Monday.
Prasad noted that some people were complacent about the weather warnings when they were issued. He said they should have heeded the notice and taken precautions before the storm arrived.
