Fears for remote tribe Tanna Island.

[Tish]

Fears are rising for the remote tribe that worshipped Prince Philip after it has not made contact since two cyclones devastated their island.

Tanna Island, which is about 1,300 miles east of northern Australia, has not made contact since two cyclones in two days left a trail of destruction, according to The Times.

The nation Vanuatu was also hit by a 6.5-magnitude earthquake and military rescue teams from Australia, New Zealand, and France are rushing to the nation for help.

Very worrying Tish, hopefully it is just the transmitter
that is the fault, or the power supply and that all the
people are busy trying to fix things.

Hope it's just a communications outage. I suspect the people of Tanna Island have seen many cyclones and are better able to weather them than most.

That is interesting, makes one wonder how it came to be. Did Philip have a connection to the island?

Thanks @Wren that explains it, as well as anyone understands it. Now it will be interesting to see if King Charles becomes their next god.

If he does maybe they’ll perform at the Coronation, nobody else seems to be interested !
