In a few hours time

    In a few hours time North Queensland is going to be hit by a catagory 5 (the highest there is) cyclone that is the biggest cyclone in nearly 100 years Australia has seen, winds are expected to be between 300 and 400km an hour and causing tidal surges of up to 7 meters .

    Just to give you an idea of how intense this cyclone is,"Cyclone Yasi" is approximately the size of the United States.

    Poor Queensland is realy copping a beating from mother nature lately, expect several commodities to be held up again and crops destroyed much like the floods in southern Queensland.

    This has the potential to be the worst storm Australia has ever witnessed, I hope any members of BPT in Northern Queensland remain safe through this ordeal.

    Wishing the residents of Queensland

    This is really bad. Thanks for sharing this with us. At the least we can do is pray God's protection for the people in peril.
