Hurricane Irene - a mother of a storm
http://www.weather.com/weather/hurricanecentral/tracker
It's a mother of a storm this one.... Total path of destruction, storm, and tropical low is over 4,000km.
It's going a long way north too. It's weird actually. If you lay it over the East Coast Of Aus, with matching North/South coordinates, it starts at Mackay, slides the whole way along the coast, past the Merimbula Corona Event Sites, onto to Tassie, and then half way to Antartica !! Weird !
Edit - correction - storm path is equivalent of Cairns to just off the coast of Antartica!
