It is

Authorities say there is nothing to suggest the roof has come off Innisfail's evacuation centre

Apparently the correct report is that the roof of the building NEXT to the evac centre blew off

It seems that the building next to the Evac centre has lost it's roof. Slight difference there.

Just like twitter and the shootings in regent street.

ABC radio reported it, everybody on Tweeter stated it was wrong

Channel 7 tries to warn viewers not to go outside during #TCYasi by getting their reporter to stand outside in Cairns

I don't think it's that bad atm. When the light in the street falls and the car on the drive moves then it will be bad.

What looks like horizontal rain, something was being blown down the street earlier too.

Skippy the bush kangaroo is the mastermind behind all this

The weather is acting crazy these days it seems. 1 storm in North America affecting 100 mil. & 2 cyclones in a week in the land down under.

PiKe · 2 Feb 2011 at 16:08

All cameras are down now it seems.

Facebooked a friend that lives in Queensland. Hopefully he stays safe!
His mams apartment was flooded, now this!

Berserker · 2 Feb 2011 at 16:53

Having been to Cairns, I'm definitely thinking of all those out there living through this right now. Hope everyone stays safe.

Can anyone say what effect those two moutains in the projected path above will have on the cyclone?

How far into this affair roughly are they?

Good luck down there :/
