''400 millimetres of rain in 12 hours''

''Fijian authorities have issued a severe flood warning for the whole island group, following days of heavy rain in the Pacific nation.

''With thousands of people in emergency shelters, officials warned that more downpours would trigger fresh floods.''

''Storms since late last week have left at least eight people dead.''

Meteorological Service director Rajendra Prasad called it "THE WORST FLOODING SITUATION IN THE RECENT HISTORY OF FIJI".

"Two peak floods one after the other" was unprecedented, he told the Associated Press, and heavy rain was forecast for the next two days.'' (Quelle BBC News)
