The massive cyclone struck northeastern Australia early Thursday, tearing off roofs, toppling trees and cutting electricity to more than 170,000 people, the most powerful storm to hit the area in nearly a century.

This image provided by NASA shows Tropical Cyclone Yasi as it approaches Queensland, Australia, Wednesday Feb. 2, 2011. This NEXSAT image captured this natural-color image at 04:32 GMT Wednesday Feb. 2, 2011. The Category 5 storm is expected to make landfall at approximately noon GMT Wednesday. Gusts up to 186 mph (300 kph) were expected when Cyclone Yasi strikes the Australian coast Wednesday after whipping across Australia's Great Barrier Reef. The storm front is more than 310 miles (500 kilometers) wide and Yasi is so strong, it could reach far inland before it significantly loses power. (AP Photo/NASA - Jeff Schmaltz) (AP)

The Plastiki, a boat made out of 12,500 recycled plastic bottles, sails on Sydney Harbour Monday, July 26, 2010, four months after it set out from San Francisco on a journey across the Pacific Ocean meant to raise awareness about the perils of plastic waste. The 60-foot (18.2 meter) catamaran that weathered fierce ocean storms during its 8,000 nautical miles at sea, left San Francisco on March 20, stopping along the way at various South Pacific island nations including Kiribati and Samoa.
