3rd February - Today's News: Yasi Makes Landfall as Cat 5 Storm

So far, the news from Australia is relatively good after Cyclone Yasi crosses coast in North's darkest hour. There are fears for Caldwell residents after destruction wrought by Cyclone Yasi but 1 of 2 missing men has been found alive and well. Hundreds of miles inland, Yasi runs out of steam but Isa braced - Mt Isa was home to my brother and his family for many years, they're probably glad they're now in Brisbane! And out towards the coast, Queensland starts cyclone clean-up.

And in the other big story this week, storm blankets half of US in snow as bitter cold, power outages follow in wake of massive storm but in Canada, much of massive storm misses southern Ontaria.

And here in Britain there's a warning over winds of 90mph for parts of Scotland with gales affecting many other parts, together with heavy rain and, in the Highlands, snow - a pretty unsettled few days coming up.
