The tropical island of Fiji is facing a dire threat this weekend from Tropical Cyclone Winston, which despite its in**cuous name is packing a formidable punch, with satellite-estimated sustained winds of Category 5 intensity.
The storm has meandered since it formed more than a week ago,*scoring the rare feat of striking the same island — Vava'u — in the small island nation of Tonga twice in one week, as a Category 2 storm.*
However, it appears to have made up its mind **w, and is bent on striking the capital of Fiji as a far more potent storm than what Tonga experienced.*
