Cyclone lashes Australia, thousands likely homeless

Pictures here. With 180 MPH winds it is amazing no one was killed.
"CAIRNS, Australia?-- The most powerful storm to hit Australia in decades laid waste to its northeastern coast on Monday, mowing down sugar and banana plantations and leaving possibly thousands of people homeless. But there were no reports of serious injuries, reflecting the preparedness of residents in the storm-prone region." - CANADA
