Fiji declared a state of natural disaster on Thursday, ordering its entire population to take shelter ahead of a nightly curfew as a potentially devastating cyclone approached the Pacific Island nation. Cyclone Yasa, a top category five storm, is expected to bring winds of up to 250 km per hour, as well as torrential rain across the South Pacific archipelago when it makes landfall by early Friday.
