The storms have passed! Tropical Cyclone Zena was upgraded to category 3 before downgrading and slowly moving away. The alerts for further heavy rains and floods have been cancelled. The curfew has been lifted.

Currently there are 6400 evacuees in evacuation centres. At least 2 people have passed away - a 70 year old gentleman who went outside on the first night of heavy rains, and a 19 year old woman who was swept away while trying to cross the current.

Yesterday I went to the orphanage to help care for the children, because of school closures and there was no way to get to the Red Cross base due to roads and buses being closed. Today I am going to the orphanage again, this time to help with some work for people affected by the floods.
