A family of six from Soasoa Labasa are counting their lucky stars after they escaped unharmed when a landslide moved their house by almost 10 metres during the heavy rain brought by TC Ana.

Kamlesh Kumar says his parents, brother, sister-in-law and 2 nieces managed to move out of the house moments before the incident.

Kumar says at around midday Sunday, his family could feel something was about to happen as they could feel their house moving.

He adds they didn’t take any risk and moved out immediately.

The family is currently living with other relatives as they wait for things to normalise before they start repair works.
