South Australia Struck Yet Again by Cyclone Yasi

SOUTH Australia has been bracing itself for days for what has been a massive cyclone, which has struck Queensland yet again.


The worst hit areas were Tully, Mission Beach and Cardwell, where the cyclone reached a colossal 300km/h (190mph). Despite the cyclone's path through many residential areas, the Queensland Premier has confirmed that there have been no reports of any casualties.


Just to give some scope on the intensity of the cyclone, 90% of the buildings in Tully have been damaged as a result of the powerful gale-force winds of the storm.


Since its arrival, it has been downgraded to a category two storm as it continues on its path through Australia. We can only hope and pray that this inflicts as little pain on the already grief-stricken residents of Queensland, who are still unable to return to their homes.
