I have heard from my friend who has been sailing charters. His message:
I was between charters and on my mooring in Neiafu Harbor... hardly noticeable in here, but I guess some anchored boats got pushed around out at the other anchorages, though resulted in no real problems or damage. It sounds bad in Samoa, and just now hearing about Niuatoputapu the northern most Tongan island 150 miles north of here (halfway between Vava'u and Samoa. I guess it got hit fairly hard. Haven't really heard of other damage here in Tonga, as far as coastal resorts and houses.... I think is it not too bad.

Assume the best and ask questions.
