RE: Cyclone Yasi

Miraculously, only one confirmed death so far, and even that one can be a lesson to us. Sadly, it was a young man whose house weathered the storm well, but he accidentally gassed himself with CO poisoning by running a small diesel generator in too confined a space. What a needless and avoidable tragedy.
Actually, we down here need to spare a thought for your North American people being devastated by those massive snow storms. Many lives have been lost we gather from the news. What a set of weather extremes we are experiencing all over the world.
