Where is it misty?


Not here or western Europe. Comewhere on the Yangtse Delta?

NNISFAIL, Australia (Reuters) - One of the most powerful cyclones to
hit Australia in decades lashed the northern city of Cairns on Monday
with winds of up to 290 kph (180 mph), ripping roofs off houses,
uprooting trees and flattening crops.

There were no reports of deaths by late Monday but authorities said
about 30 people had received minor injuries.

The eye of Cyclone Larry crossed the coast just south of Cairns, the
sugar-growing town of Innisfail taking the maximum-category five
storm's full force as it left a trail of destruction along 300 km of
coast.
