I know one Pixie who isnt too far from the drop zone (wont say who incase he doesnt wish to be on the map) and he better be lookin after his ass!
It hit land at around 7:30am QLD time...its ripped roofs off and done quite a lot of structural damage.
But as for human casualties....none are known as yet
I imagine more will come when the mop up begins
Cyclone Larry has just been downgraded to a Cat3 cyclone (was when hit land a Cat5)

Our hearts and prayers go out to all that might be affected. Sounds like the authorities had a pretty good handle on things and were tending to business to try and keep people as safe as possible.
God bless.

Latest word here is that no one was killed. At least there's good news there. although the flooding and damage to people's homes in quite extensive. Lot of hardship involved, unfortunately.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060320...stralia_cyclone
Although I do note that the disater coordinator spokesman has his shit together, to whit:
State Disaster Coordination Center spokesman Peter Rekers warned residents to stay on their guard for deadly animals stirred up by the storm.
"Most of the casualties and deaths resulting from cyclones happen after the storm has passed," he warned. "Keep your kids away from flooded drains, be aware of snakes and crocodiles. Those guys will have had a bad night too."
