Update on Cyclone Aftermath

Around 7,000 people have been left homeless in the aftermath of Cyclone Larry. The hardest hit town, Innisfail, held a massive BBQ yesterday to feed the local community with meat from butchers who were without power, and would otherwise go to waste.

Trucks carrying soldiers rumbled through the streets of Innisfail, the town of 8,500 that bore the brunt of category-5 Cyclone Larry when it slammed into the coast of northeast Australia just before dawn Monday.

I’m interested in the recovery of the local community in Northern Queensland after Cyclone Larry. So I put up a blog dedicated to all news and commentary about Larry. I am particularly interested in the revitalisation of the local economy, how the local people feel about Federal decisions that affect their livelihoods, attitudes and reflections to the reconstruction effort, and the stories, anecdotes and narratives that make up life after Larry.

I’d really like the blog to become a space for local people to chat about the Cyclone and how it’s impacted on their lives.
