Thought I would post this satellite image of Cyclone Yasi, the remnants of cyclone Anthony can be seen in the bottom corner for comparison.


or go here to see a moving image.

How the **** do they work out the names of these things? Cyclone Tinkerbell will be next.

How about cyclone Imgonna****youup... or something like that.

theres a website you ca go to and suggest names;
and it's either lucky dip, or most number of suggestions for one name..


imagin 'cyclone truckster'


haha

Yasi is expected to be a Cat 4 or possible 5 when it makes landfall....

They can't yet predict with any accuracy where it will make landfall. Somwhere between Hervey bay and Cape York. The whole state may be screwed....again

I know if it was a Greek that named it it woulda been
'Cyclone Yiasou !"

in all seriousness, OMHMOFG

The image posted is deceiving, as TC Anthony is well inland, and has lost a lot of its grunt. Landfall is wide open at the moment, for both time/date, and location. I hope its not too far south.

Not quite Old.School.Hero, each meteorology region has a list of names, based on their region and starting at A thru to Z. Depending on where they are up to decides the name. They also take into account the size and ferocity of the cyclone so they can jump names. As Yasi started outside our region, we did not name it. To give a bit of perspective on its size, I read that when it makes landfall, it has the potential to make Larry look like a summer storm.
I feel for the folks of Queensland, they can't take a trick at the moment.
On another note, I like the sound of Cyclone Truckster.
Cheers,

We have only gotten the power back on in Airlie Beach a couple of hrs ago.
Ive been installing PCs with a headlamp on again.

It now looks like Yasi is going to hit on Wednesday arvo. Bugger. Thats when I am supposed to fly out. If Im lucky I will get stuck up here and will get to take heaps of cool pics.

Greetings,
man this Yasi bloke has got the whole town talking.
The latest predicted tidal surge of 4 m has me more worried. I should be right but am worried and saying prayers for family and freinds closer to the coast.
