Yeah what he said ,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.
