    Its actually worse than that article, Yasi has been upgraded to a category 5 cyclone with winds in excess of 300kph, it will make landfall just south of Innisfail in about an hour(midnight our time) (which was flattened by a Gategory 4 in 2006) It expected that 500Km's of coastline will be decimated including heavily populated areas, without playing it up, they don't come any worse than this.

    Yeah heard that, and also a storm surge up to 6m and that's with the Great Barrier Reef helping to block it too ! They think the Reef may get badly damaged. Worst storm for over a century apparantly.

    So far no reported injuries or loss of life, fingers crossed it stays this way. Mission Beach, Tully and Innisfail have been severely hammered, I think we've been very lucky ! Yasi has been downgraded to Cat 2 as it moves inland.
