Concordia Responds to Cyclone Yasi in Queensland Australia

21st February 2011

Cyclone Yasi hit Queensland on Wednesday 2nd February 2011 and was the second catastrophic event to impact the Australian state in as many months.  Wind speeds reached approximately 250 km/h at its peak, comparable with wind speeds recorded during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
 
Yasi has caused serious damage to property and industry in the region and has resulted in a surge of new claims on top of those made following the December 2010 / January 2011 floods.

Weather experts forecast that there is no immediate end in sight and the poor weather is set to continue with a further risk of flooding highly likely over the next two months.
