Tropical Cyclone Larry formed off the northeastern coast of Australia on March 18 2006. The cyclone gained power rapidly and came ashore on Queensland s eastern coastline where it hammered beaches with heavy surf tore roofs off buildings and perhaps most destructively flattened trees in banana plantations over a wide area. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported early estimates that as much as 90 percent of the Australian banana crop may have been lost in this single storm. Since many trees have been destroyed it may be many years before the banana industry recovers
