Stranded Fijians looking to rush home before curfew in the Western Division are racing with time this morning as they wait for floodwaters to recede.

The floodwaters have left over a dozen people stranded from last night.

In Ba, more than 20 people travelling towards Tavua spent the night at a service station while those headed for Lautoka sheltered at police check points.

According to the National Disaster Management Office, the curfew for the whole of the west will begin at 12pm and end at 4am on Monday.
