Storm Casualties
Between AEST 23:57, 2 February 2011, and 00:27, 3 February 2011, the eye of Cyclone Yasi passed directly over Bedarra Island as a Category 5 tropical cyclone. A number of the luxury resorts were devastated with buildings left in splinters, facilities in ruins and gardens stripped bare.
After a major clean up and reinvestment, most of the popular luxury resorts on the eastern side of the horseshoe-shaped island have fully recovered.

Famous quotes containing the word storm:
“Thee for my recitative,
Thee in the driving storm even as now, the snow, the winter-day
declining,
Thee in thy panoply, thy measur’d dual throbbing and thy beat
convulsive,
Thy black cylindric body, golden brass and silvery steel,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
