As one Cyclone moves away in Vanuatu another barrels in, and it's expected to bring more devastation to the island nation on Friday.
Category 4 Cyclone Judy brought heavy rain and wind of up to 230 kilometres an hour, which caused large waves that breached the capital Port Vila on Wednesday.
Homes and businesses lost roofs and trees and powerlines were upended.
The Vanuatu Red Cross said communication remains cut off with the southern province of Tafea as second cyclone barrels towards the country.
Secretary general Dickinson Tevi said four evacuation centres have been set up in Port Vila and a damage assessment is ongoing.
"Power lines are down, roofs of some houses have blown off," he told Newshub on Thursday.
"You can see damage everywhere. People are trying to clean up this morning."
He said fuel is only available in limited locations.
"You can see vehicles queuing up. Only a few fuel pumps are working so you have long queues."
In 2015, the southern island of Tanna was devastated by category 5 Cyclone Pam.
Tevi said the Red Cross has an office there and they still haven't heard how the 32,000 residents have fared.
"So far we have had no communication yet. Even friends and relatives, we haven't had any news from Tanna at all," he told Newhub.
"That's a big worry because it means the communication lines are down and we don't know what damage the cyclone has done there."
Meanwhile, a second cyclone is headed directly for the island nation.
"Another tropical low to the northwest of Vanuatu has developed into a tropical cyclone today," MetService Meteorologist Jessie Owen said.
The new cyclone was named Tropical Cyclone Kevin on Thursday morning and it was located about 480km west-northwest of Espiritu Santo.
"It should follow a similar path to Tropical Cyclone Judy out of the Tropics and is not forecast to affect New Zealand," Owen said.
The Fiji Metservice said the storm is currently a category 2 system but could be category 3 when it hits Vanuatu on Friday.
