First the floods... now a cyclone


This looks really scary! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the effects won't be as bad as predicted. Good luck to my Aussie rellies.

Info taken from the BBC News website:
"Fierce winds and driving rains brought by the most powerful storm ever to hit Queensland are lashing northern coastal areas of the Australian state. With winds reaching up to 290km/h (181mph), Cyclone Yasi is ripping roofs off buildings and has cut power to at least 100,000 people. The storm struck south of Cairns and is moving inland, with forecasters warning of severe damage and likely deaths. Queensland's premier has warned of devastation on an unprecedented scale."
