An emotional 41 year old village nurse, Melaia Cagituievei reveals of how her 4 year old son, Jona openly cried to her expressing his fear about the strong winds which blew off the roof of their kitchen at the village of Nalele in Cikobia.

Cagituievei said her son, husband and 2 other children with their mother were all in the living room because the 2 bedrooms were wet.

She added that she had to take Jona to one of the rooms, spread a tarpaulin on the wet floor under the bed and used a dry mattress for Jona to lie on so he could sleep.        

Meanwhile Cagituievei said as a village nurse she had advised the families in the 4 villages of Cikobia namely Nalele, Vuninuku, Nautauvatu and Vatulele to boil the drinking water that were kept in the water tank.
