Floodwaters in Nadi Town have receded, but have caused damage to some shops.
Nadi businessman Mohammed Khan says there was about three feet of water on the town's main street.
He adds that the flash flooding caught some business owners off guard, which left them unable to prepare properly.
Khan says some shops have unfortunately sustained damage, but the full extent will only be known after proper assessment.
He also says the Nadi Back Road remains flooded, although the highway is now clear.
