Cyclone Yasi

I am sure most of you are aware, but tonight there will be a category 5 cyclone in Cairns, which is apparently supposed to be the most devastating cyclone Australia has ever experienced before. It is supposed to be bigger, and more devastating than Katrina, and is bigger than Tasmania. I am extremely lucky to not be close to this disaster. Cairns is about 19 hours away from where I am living, but it still seems to hit close to home. Watching the news it is extremely heartbreaking to see and hear how terrified these people are, and how serious it will become as many peoples home and lives will be destroyed tonight.

Please keep all of the people of Cairns in your thoughts and prayers today!
