Tri Girl, it is indeed Qld that was hit by floods late last year & this year..This time it's in the far North Queensland area..I'm not sure how this one compared to Cyclone Larry they endured in 2007.

One thing that shocked me is the size of the cyclone (now been downgraded but it still hit last night). They mentioned it would cover most of the US..!!! http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news...-1225998762870
