[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 405136, member: 1991"] So far still only the one death, and so tragic - it shouldn't have happened. As for the missing yachtie - he sailed in to harbour this afternoon unhurt, apparently. There are still two missing, they said. But the scale of the damage is incredible. The banana plantations - they learned after Cyclone Larry, that the smaller banana trees had a better chance of surviving, so before Yasi hit, a lot of farmers deliberately slashed their banana trees in half. Many of these have survived, they say they will be producing bananas in a few months. We're now being told that to buy bananas will be a patriotic act! Marg [/QUOTE]
