Fiji was first put on Tropical Cyclone Alert in the first Special Weather Bulletin, issued around 28/0330 UTC, when it was anticipated that Paula could move reasonably close to the country and possibly cause damaging gale-force winds or stronger by early March 2nd.
Although Paula passed to the south of Fiji, severe damage was sustained in some parts of the nation, especially along coastlines that were exposed to the surge and swells generated by the cyclone.
Rita's being upgraded to a cyclone as early as it was was probably a result of the change in the WMO Region 5 definition of a tropical cyclone that was adopted at a meeting in Rarotonga last September.
