Yasi is a category 5, massive cyclone, that the Bureau of Meteorology says is the biggest in "generations" (I guess that means on record?).

They're reporting that a weather station on Cairns Island has not reported in for 40 minutes and may have been destroyed.

U.S. meteorologists are saying the cyclone is causing nearly 40 foot waves in the Coral Sea (11.5 meters).

200,000 may lose power.

Sounds like Australia's "storm of the century". To top off the weirdness factor, they're saying the storm will hit right at HIGH TIDE! That is gonna' cause some MAJOR storm surge.

...And all of this in the same state (Queensland) that was just flooded with a flood the size of Texas and New Mexico, combined.
