Tropical Cyclone Yasi
Sometime in the next several hours, the largest tropical cyclone in recorded Australian history (T.C. Yasi), will hit the coast of North Queensland, Australia somewhere near the little town of Cardwell. Cardwell has been totally evacuated.
Yasi is rated at category 5 which is a high as the scale goes, with winds up to 300kmh and it has destructive winds within a diameter of 800km (500 miles). It is larger than our island state of Tasmania.
Aren't you glad you don't live in the area?
