(CBS/AP) A powerful tropical cyclone packing winds of up to 180 miles-an-hour struck northeastern Australia early Monday, injuring at least three people.
Tropical cyclone Larry smashed into the coastal community of Innisfail, about 62 miles south of Cairns, a popular jumping-off point for the Great Barrier Reef, sending hundreds of residents fleeing for higher ground, reports CBS News.
A Queensland state police spokeswoman at Innisfail said three people had been reported injured so far in the storm, including a woman who was struck by flying glass and two others who were hurt after falling down.

John Howard is today touring the damage with Queensland Premier Beattie and Opposition Leader Beazley. Aussies come together at such times. There will be no repeat of New Orleans.

Murdoch doesn't own The Age or SMH. Both are Fairfax publications and notoriously left-wing and anti-Howard.
