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

Weather here in Mackay is starting to really crank up, and we are 800km from Cairns. All the best FNQ and stay safe.
