CYCLONE LARRY

ABC News (Australia) reports:

Police say more than half of the homes in Innisfail were destroyed when cyclone Larry struck far north Queensland this morning.

Many are homeless and thousands have been left without power or water.

Frank Pagano from the Counter-Disaster and Rescue Service, says back-up crews are still trying to reach Innisfail with fallen trees blocking the road in both directions.

But he says local emergency workers say the town has been devastated.
