Here’s an update on the severe tropical cyclone (hurricane) that struck northern Queensland, Australia yesterday, that I mentioned on my previous blog entry last night. Reports now are saying that the town of Innisfail was practically razed to the ground by the Category 5 Tropical Cyclone Larry, leaving thousands homeless, and that the banana and sugarcane crops have been ruined for at least 18 months. That’s especially not good for Australia as a nation, since that region produces 90% of the nation’s cane and bananas. This was the strongest cyclone ever to strike Australia, stronger, and now apparently as destructive or more so, than Cyclone Tracy, which devastated the northern city of Darwin on Christmas Eve 1974.
