Cairns Base Hospital evacation as Cairns Braces for cyclone storm surge

Cairns Base Hospital is being evacuated as Cairns prepares for a possible 6 metre storm surge as Cyclone Yasi bears down on the city, coinciding with a high Tide.  This may cause widespread flooding in low lying parts of the city and the northern beaches.

BOM has released the latest update and threat map showing the massive cyclone heading straight for Cairns: it is expected to make landfall on the morning of Wednesday, 2nd February.
