Latest Headlines: Cyclone Larry: Could Townsville be another New Orleans?!!

Yes, folks, it's true, migrating to Australia does not free you of hurricanes...this'n here is a Category 4 cyclone (i.e., hurricane). What's funny is that they give them silly names like "Larry" here, too. Western news agencies don't know about them. Australia's news is not priority...I've circled the cyclone in red. Note: it is very large, with 250 mph+ winds; LA would fit into that circle (the state, not the city):

We just wouldn't want something like this happen'n again:*

Dear Staff and Students,
Due to the approach of Severe Tropical Cyclone Larry, it has been decided to close Cairns Smithfield Campus and Townsville Douglas and Vincent Campuses tomorrow, 20 March 2006. Further advice will be issued once the cyclone has passed which should be tomorrow afternoon. We would remind everyone to take appropriate precautions before the Cyclone arrives and wish you all a safe 24 hours as it passes.
Regards,
Prof Andrew Vann
Pro-Vice Chancellor Information and Corporate Services
