No deaths or serious injuries have been reported following Cyclone Yasi which struck land as a category five storm around midnight yesterday. The Queensland towns of Innisvail, Mission Beach, Tully and Cardwell where hit hardest by Yasi with authorities waiting for safer conditions to assess the full extent of the damage. Yasi has been downgraded to a category two storm as it passes inland.

As night fell, Mr Pike bunkered down at the local police station with other evacuees, some of them experiencing their first cyclone. His thoughts turned to his own beachfront property but he'd already given up hope on the family home. Miraculously, the house survived but Mr Pike, like all of Mission Beach, faced a massive clean-up. Dunk Island sits just off Mission Beach and for decades was a world-renowned holiday destination.

Yasi smashed the island's resort to pieces — 10 years later it still lays in ruins despite numerous redevelopment false starts. Alister Pike, who has run a fishing charter business for decades and served as a local councillor, laments the resort's loss which he believed was inevitable.

Ron Hunt has lived in Tully his whole life and is no stranger to cyclones, but he remembers Yasi had him anxious as it approached through a valley known locally as "the window".

As Yasi bore down, the town's Senior Citizens Hall had been established as an emergency shelter and was already filling with evacuees from nearby Tully Heads.

Volunteering as a Red Cross disaster officer, Mrs Byrne made an instinctual, life-and-death call. Mrs Byrne had her own near miss during Yasi when a neighbour's tree came crashing down.

Tully was shell-shocked and 10 years on, the small rural town is still recovering from the exodus caused by Yasi. About 40 properties were demolished and around a third of the population didn't stay for the rebuild. Mr Hunt said the scores of still vacant blocks scattered through Tully were the "physical scars". Mrs Byrne was involved in the community relief efforts to help Tully residents get back on their feet but many were forced to leave.

The Tully Valley is Australia's largest banana growing district, worth billions of dollars to the regional and national economy.
