Quotes from Mr. Mackley:
"...The sea level is so high that waves are crashing right into the forest
(photo)...
...scene of total devastation...
...winds on the island would have been between 300 and 350kph...
...every tree on the island has been blown over or shredded...
...the island is completely denuded of vegetation, almost every building
has been damaged...
...the sea has come through some villages and run into the lake which is
the islands only water source..."

HONIARA, Solomon Islands (Reuters)
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20030101/wl_nm/weather_solomons_cyclone_dc_15
  - A severe cyclone that smashed into three remote South Pacific islands
shredded trees and buildings, aerial photos showed Wednesday, but aid
officials downplayed fears about the fate of the islands' 2,000 residents.
Mackley was the first outsider to reach the cyclone-hit islands, which lie
600 miles southeast of the capital, Honiara, flying over them Wednesday
morning. He could not land as none of the islands have an airstrip.
