What is it with islands turning into tropical cyclone magnets lately? First there was the hellish Atlantic hurricane season, when storms wiped out Domenica, Barbuda, Puerto Rico, St. John and other islands.。
Now the tiny Pacific Island nation of Tonga, which juts out into the South Pacific, southwest of American Samoa, was struck on Sunday night eastern time by the strongest storm of 2018 so far: Category 4 Cyclone Gita. 。
SEE ALSO:Australia's most popular natural tourist spots are under threat from climate change。Tropical Cyclone Gita, packing sustained winds of 145 miles per hour, making it the equivalent of a Category 4 storm on the Saffir-Simpson Scale, swept across the southernmost Tongalese islands on Sunday night and Monday eastern time.。
The storm is reportedly the most severe to ever strike this tiny island nation, which is best known now for sending Pita Taufatofua, a shirtless, well-oiled, muscular man to the Olympics as a national flag bearer in two consecutive games.。

The storm underwent a period of rapid intensification on Sunday as it moved to the west, on a collision course with the island. By the time it struck, it was a formidable storm that passed close to the islands of Tongatapu and 'Eua. 。

It's likely that the island nation has sustained major damage. Tongatapu alone has about 75,000 people, and it appeared to enter the storm's eye wall, where the fiercest winds and heaviest rains are located. 。
Tropical Cyclone Gita is forecast to move to the southwest during the next few days, potentially impacting Noumea, New Caledonia, and potentially bringing stormy weather to northern New Zealand by late in the week. 。
