29-year-old Nazina Nisha of Bulileka was returning home from work and apparently was crossing a tram line when she was carried off by the raging waters. Her body was recovered the next morning.

The body of 22-year-old Rohit Prasad of Labasa was also found early Sunday where it had been swept into a cane field near Vunivatu. When the flood hit, thirteen other people in the immediate area saved their own lives by climbing trees. Prasad, and his father, Gyan, were unable to reach the trees in time. Gyan Prasad is still missing.

Also missing is a young girl from Batinikama.
