I drove up to innisfail from brisbane after cyclone larry on the promise of a job only to find out i needed a business services licence when i got there ........worst days of my life

I asked someone in cairns why no house had tiles and was told because they won't last during a cyclone , wish them all well up there

Amazing lately , queensland beautiful one day ......a disaster the next

My stepson lives in Innisfail and Stepdaughter lives on a yacht in Cairns Harbour. Both have been evacuated.
Only a month ago I was thinking of Relocating to Innisfail to be closer to them. Not now.

Isn't this a once in a 100 year event though? I wouldn't be put off moving as bad as this cyclone is going to be.

It seems like one thing after another in Queensland at the moment :|

go past innisfail and enjoy the amazing city of cairns , it's only about 90 km's to innisfail but the difference is great

I fear Innisfail and nearby small town will simply fly away

many old well built buildings in innisfail but this will test them ....second time around

For now, just from space:

This table contains good info but I think Yasi is wider, just nearly as Katrina was.

Someone did not lose time:

yasi.com.au and www.cycloneyasi.com.au

 

[WG2010]

I checked cycloneyasi.com.au today but I was far too slow on that one.

According to this map, it completely missed Australia, and hit USA:

But seriously, that is 1 massive looking cyclone.
BTW, map from here:

Good luck to all those up in the affected areas! Scary sh!t.

not as bad as first thought , tully is australia's wettest suburb so they were always going to get some of it

i dont see anything to be gained by regging the cyclones name

 

[Lorenzo]

the CNN is not too sure about Australian geography...
