Slept through two of them - nice! How long were you in Fiji for? I can imagine how exciting it must've been as a kid! Not sure I'd want to find myself caught in its path now either.
I've not experienced a cyclone but our flight to Madras got diverted mid-flight to Colombo once because of one. If you speak to people who have lived in Madras for many years, they will tell you how every time a cyclone threatens to hit Madras it almost always misses, but that time it struck and flooded our house. We had to spend the first couple days with my mum's cousins in a different part of the city.
