The Category 5 Tropical Cyclone Harold made landfall on the Vanuatu island of Santo yesterday with destructive winds as high as 235km/h.
The cyclone passed directly over Santo and hundreds of people are sheltering in evacuation centres.
In Luganville, a town of 16,000 people, roofs have been blown off, trees snapped, and the council building has been destroyed.
Overnight, TC Harold showed no signs of weakening as it moved across Vanuatu.
