Member Since: August 2007 Posts: 310 Send Message	Thinking of everyone in North Queensland right now particularly in the Cairns area. The tropical cyclone Yasi has now been upgraded to a category 5 and winds expected up to 320kph. Hoping that everyone can get away to safety in time. It is expected to hit the coast tonight. It is also expected to be worse than previous cyclones - Larry a few years ago and back in 1974 Cyclone Tracey which was aussies worst ever cyclone up to now. So to be worse than those is pretty bad.
