The cyclone that could change the face of Vanuatu and possibly change my life forever. The predictions around this cyclone were that it was going to be BIG. It was being called beast of Fiji, MONSTER of Vanuatu. As we were consolidated in the hotel you would see several people glued to maps, following the storm. The anticipation was this would turn into a category 5 cyclone, which is where they stop counting. It was moving VERY, VERY slow, which makes it more deadly. Also during all this there was another smaller storm forming known as Nathan. If Pam and Nathan met, it could be one of the strongest storms the South Pacific would ever face. Structures in the USA would be damaged and demolished. This nation uses custom houses that would be demolished under the rain & winds of Pam. As the storm built there became a very tense question that had to be answered. Would the structure we were in be able to withstand what was coming, IF it came. At this point all of this was still an IF, AND, BUT, WHEN, HOW, conversation. Pam danced back and forth in the ocean from hour to hour. She could have gone in many different directions.
