As if the catastrophic floods a few weeks agi in Qld weren't enough Cyclone Yasi which
is being described as the worst cyclone in Australia's history is about to hit the coastline
near Cairns in Nth Qld.
To give you a idea how big it is our weather beurea has stated that there is enough energy
in the cyclone to power the entire world for a year!!!!
Winds of over 300klm an hour are expected with a tidal surge of up to 9 meters.As if this is not
bad enough rainfall of 1000mm or 1 metre is expected in the first few hours.
The storm front is 500klms wide with the eye being 100klms and is predicted to cross the coast
around 10pm Australian time.
Hope everyone stays safe!!!!
