Category 5 Cyclone Yasi due to hit Cairns and Townsville

Just spoke to my brother, who moved out to Adelaide last Wed and he says things are not looking good up there....pretty scary at how much devastation Australia has been taking the past few week.

I just hope they evacuate the people in time.

My aunt and uncle live just outside of Mackay, they brought a generator last week (following being cut off with the flooding) as they are very isolated out in the country so when they lost power they would be screwed as it's about 20 miles from the town.

Fingers crossed for them, it's been a bad year so far

They reckon Mackay should be one of the safer places. They even had footage of cops walking around the street still:p
 
:eek:Fingers crossed for everyone in the path of cyclone yasi!!
Hope op doesn't mind but a friend just sent me these and while i'm sure we wish everyone good luck it's easy to forget the animals affected.




Last but not least (and its not photoshopped) a frog hitching a ride on a snake :eek:

Which I guess is a bit better than hitting head on Townsville or Cairns. I seem to remember the spot between the two being reasonably sparsely populated.

It is, but it's still going to leave some completely devastated communities :(

they stopped evacuating people hours ago

''too late'' apparently

Far too late, some buildings have already had roofs ripped off as the wind is already at/beyond gale force.

You'd just be crushed wouldn't you? But then again, a house can be rebuilt...

Not at all fella, the more angles of coverage the better as far as I'm concerned :)
 
Reports on the news of quite a few hotels completely destroyed now and a shopping mall with 5000 people sheltering, the main shutters are buckling and they think they will blow before the worst of the storm passes.

Cyclone now less than 20km from land.
