Hi All,
I lived up there years ago. Cyclone parties used to be the go.
Sometimes no one turned up.
This Yasi Storm worries me. I have never seen one as big as this one.
It means that its intensity is wider from the centre. It moves slowly and therefore over any given point in its path will be subjected to gale force winds and rain for a much longer period.
Many Nth Qlders would not get out of bed for a medium cat 2 cyclone. Yasi will be worrying everyone all night or all day long.
Cat 2 = trees blow down, old roofing lifts off.
Cat 3 = Damage to houses, trees. Take cover
Cat 4 = Can often take the house.
Get into shelter, take your astro gear & radio with you. Its going to be a long scary ride. I hope it starts dissipating before it hits, becuase this will cause a lot of damage.
Cheers
