Hey guys , I'm in Airlie Beach 300km south of Townsville, evacuated the whitsunday island resorts today,Buses taking people out tomorrow.
flights all full am now stuck here.
Predicted track is now slightly above townsville maybe Ayr

Looks to be a cat 4 ( high 4) with sustained 240kmh winds for anything up to 12 -18 hours.
tidal surge range is 4-6mtrs.

Slightly shiting now that we're stuck here thing was suppose to cross on thursday afternoon , it's now wed night.

cyclone Anthony was a fizzer ( here anyway with about 50knt gusts ( cat 2 )

This thing is huge and going to very distructive.
have a solid concrete brick house , SHOULD be OK but if she goes to a cat five , who knows.
will up date ya when and if the power comes back on LOL.

Peace.

giant fairy floss doom!

Stay safe up there but 300k south you should be ok unless it starts making a southerly track...


I doubt Yasi will be bigger than this one
[link to en.wikipedia.org]

or this one
[link to en.wikipedia.org]

but it could come close

Cyclone LARRY did A BILLION dollars worth of damage but this Yari (God be the judge) is bigger..

Doom cancelled.

Yasi moved north and will miss major population centers.

NO DOOOOOM, unless you're a tree or kangaroo.

Not sure about bigger, but it sure looks weak, not well put together. Its like a see thru cyclone?
