Wow building from a Cat-1 to a Cat-5 in a couple of days, and with Nathan sandwiching some of the islands.

This site has a fascinating illustration of the spinning air currents of the two storms, as well as a third one trying to form on the west side of Australia: 404 Not Found

Even tho it says "404 Not Found," that link will show a live action illustration of the 3 cyclones - 1 west of Australia, 1 east of the country, and this one further east, as well as Tropical Storm to the north.

Looks like Vanuatu is getting hit pretty hard from this Cat-5, with Nathan following from the west...

Southern Vanuatu has taken an apsolute pounding. Vila,tanna and several other islands have had the local housing decimated.
yet Santo is untouched and at random southern islands are untouched.
This is a third world country that took a worse pounding than New Orleans in the usa.
