BEFORE AND AFTER YASI

Mum sent through a few pics of the aftermath of Cyclone Yasi today. Banana plantations destroyed, trees stripped of their leaves and a shot of Etty Beach that shows how it was flattened.

this is a pic of Etty Bay I snapped a few years back

check out the hill behind Etty Bay and how it's stripped of most of its trees

I guess the only piece of good news for Etty Bay is that those hideous blue plastic palm trees that were out the front of the shops are now gone for good.

Guess what Stu they moved the blue palm trees to the caravan park in town a while ago, even better they light up at night,bad taste all around. Now they have blown down as well, must be an omen.

That's sad on a bunch of levels, but mostly because I was so hoping they would wash up on a pacific island somewhere and confuse the locals :)
