Holy crap! That doesn't look good! :o [bang] :P
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

No words other than to say we I have no business complaining about a few days of inconvenient cold temps.

Keeping you in my thoughts.....

No. 

Between Cairns and Townsville I feel it will be inescapably devastating (although I very much hope to be wrong about that).  But 1,600kms south in Queensland's capital city of Brisbane they're forecast to have "a few showers and light winds" tomorrow. 

Its big, but its likely destruction will be "limited" to a path some hundreds of kilometres wide.  Hundreds, but not thousands. 

Think of it's destructive geographical area as something vaguely like this:  New York City to Washington, DC  and inland as far as Pittsburgh.

It appears the major Population Centers of Cairns and Townsville have dodged a very large Bullet, the same can not be said of Tully and Mission Beach, apparently they are badly Damaged/Destroyed.

Gotta love the Australian Spirit, one reporter is walking around using an iPhone and Skype to report and show the damage, he walked up to one house with half it's roof missing and water and debris everywhere, The home owner jokingly said "Scuse the Mess!"

That is very true, considering there power, they affect a small amount of area in the overall scheme of things, mind you Cyclone Yasi is affecting
Weather in just about all areas of Australia, causing some rain and affecting some weather patterns in States as far away as Western Australia and Victoria, so it's a big Mother of a system!
