Best Answer

Yes, Cyclone Yasi-

- Cyclone Yasi did not hit Cairns directly, in fact it did not hit anywhere near Cairns, Cairns got off virtually unscathed. Despite Cairns residents jumping on the bandwagon - Cyclone Yasi made landfall at Mission Beach 150k south of Cairns .. see damage in that region - so Yes Cyclone Yasi - is not the correct answer - it is totally incorrect
