For those that are interested here are the links for Willis Island, looks like TC Yasi is going to pass right over it...will be interesting to see the obs while inside the eye......if it survives that long.
Just spoke to a mate from innisfail. He doesn't think he'll see his house again after tonight. He's taken a heap of pics for his insurance and evacuated to the inlaws for the night. The council is cutting the power sometime today. It's gonna hit tonight when it's dark so they"ll be bunkered up and won't see the destruction till morning. These queenslanders just can't catch a break. Good luck Chock wer'e thinking of you and your family
Many in northern Queensland spent Wednesday morning making last-minute preparations, stocking up on food, cash, water, petrol and even buying out beer stocks at bottle shops.
