I had never heard of this island chain making news for a devestating cyclone that nearly destroyed it.

The people will need the worlds help with tons of disaster relief . If you are a praying person, send the people your prayers.

Deadly Tropical Cyclone Pam roars over, past island nation of Vanuatu


(CNN)—Tropical Cyclone Pam, one of the most powerful storms ever to make landfall, killed at least six people and caused untold destruction as it slammed the island chain of Vanuatu. Aid workers were fearful that the death toll will rise.

Hardly a tree stood straight after Pam bellowed across the South Pacific nation, where some 260,000 people live on its dozens of islands.

"It's like a bomb has gone through," said journalist Michael Maclennan, who lives in the capital Port Vila. "It's really quite apocalyptic."

Thousands of buildings were destroyed or damaged, he told CNN on Sunday morning. Most roads are blocked by fallen trees or power lines.
