Just In!!
The cane toad has been a scourge to Australian wildlife for decades. An
invasive species, the cane toad competes with local endemic frog
species and due to its high toxicity kills any predator who preys on
it, including snakes, raptors, lizards, and the carnivorous marsupial,
northern quoll. New research has uncovered another victim of the toad.
The freshwater crocodile has suffered massive population declines due
to consuming the irascible toad.

The actual damaging tornado did not hit until about 10:00pm, but the turbulence leading up to it is rather awe inspiring.
