Tropical Cyclone Harold caused severe damage in the village of Bulia in Kadavu.

Almost 20 houses were damaged due to the strong winds.

Bulia villager Iliesa Cokanasiga says that they prepared for TC Harold but they did not anticipate that the strength of the wind will be so strong that it also damaged some of the newly built houses.

Cokanasiga says from 2pm to 4pm yesterday , they experienced strong winds adding some of the houses were destroyed while others had their rooftops blown away.

He says they are very lucky that the cyclone hit the island when it was still daylight.

Cokasiga says they also experienced storm surges.
