Ive had the day off today looking after my little guy who is not well, have taken the opportunity to have a look at the miriad of articles springing up on the Severe Cyclone Yasi that is bearing down on North QLD.
I drew up a comparison image of Cyclone Monica vs Yasi
the significance is that Monica is considered by many to be the strongest Cyclone to Hit Australia since records began... you decide..
below is an Colour substitute loop from the NOAA which is quite spectacular

news.com.au has their 24/7 flood centre page operating again with regular updates and news on the evacuation of Cairns and towns between Cairns and Townsville where the greatest impact will be.
it looks like people are learning they shouldnt take these things lightly.....
