A picture released by Eumetsat on February 2, 2011 of the latest image of Cyclone Yasi approaching the northeast coast of Australia, as captured by the AVHRR instrument onboard EUMETSAT's polar-orbiting satellite Metop-A (01/02/11 23:55 + 23:58 UTC). Anxious families hunkered silently on the floor of a makeshift shelter, pets and a few precious belongings around them, waiting for dreaded Cyclone Yasi to unleash its terrible fury. More than 10,000 people from around the small banana and sugarcane farming town of Innisfail were evacuated from their homes as the category five storm barreled directly towards them with awe-inspiring ferocity.
