It is mainly over now, with Cyclone Yasi now a Category 1 and heading inland. No deaths or injuries have happened and that is mainly due to the precautions people took - evacuating out of town, going to specific shelters and generally staying inside.
Since Cyclone Larry a few years ago people rebuilt their houses with stronger foundations, walls and roofs and this has helped as well. Smaller towns did not do this, though, and there are a lot of houses now with missing roofs and walls. There are also a lot of trees that have been ripped up and are now blocking roads so now they have to get special machinery in to move them.
