Typhoon Ivy - Saratamata, Ambae Island

This isn't the finest photo I've ever taken - not by a long shot - but it does convey some of the absolute, out-of-control feeling of that day and night. The banana trees across the foregound have broken already, and the tree in the top right hand corner (whose leaves are whipping about so madly) didn't last more than an hour after I took this photo.
