This from friend Ocker Jones who works for the telco in Western Australia: "I just got out of Karratha last night before the town was put on red alert for this category 4 cyclone. Some time yesterday it was a cat 5, but they hope it gets a bit weaker before it hits sometime today. I love the way it looks like it's dragging cloud up from the Antarctic, past NZ and Tasmania."

Just look at the size of that thing...
