Eleven People Rescued While Eight Believed To Drowned in Australia Cyclone
At least 8 Indonesian fishermen are believed to have drowned while 11 fishermen have been rescued by authorities after they spent a week without food on an island due to the cyclone storm that hit the coast of Australia.
Two primitive wooden Indonesian fishing boats were caught in the path of Cyclone Ilsa, which made landfall Friday as Australia's most powerful storm in eight years, with winds gusting at an apparent record of 289 kilometers (180 miles) per hour. Read more here
We send our thoughts and prayers to the families of the eight fishermen. We also want to send our prayers to the 11 fishermen who were rescued a speedy recovery. Please always check the weather before going out to do outdoor activities.
