Our thoughts are with all those likely to be affected by Cyclone Ita. Stay safe.

I reckon the unfortunates are the cassowaries that still don’t have a proper forest left after Larry damage, then Yasi which underlined it in the southern Wet Tropics. Now along comes Ita and likely causes tonnes of damage to the northern Wet Tropics, and possibly moves south, putting more pressure on the southern end of the southern population.

Could you give her my best wishes?
