Australia Cyclone Photos

This satellite image released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology shows cyclone Larry over northeastern Australia Sunday, March 19, 2006. The powerful storm, packing winds of up to 180 mph, ripped the roofs off buildings and destroyed houses as it smashed into the community of Innisfail, about 60 miles south of Cairns, a popular jumping-off point for the Great Barrier Reef, sending residents fleeing for higher ground.
