Cyclone Yasi...
2-Feb-11 07:30
my thoughts go out to everyone in the north here over the next 24 hours...
this is gonna be something that hasn't be seen in anyone's lifetime here...
tracy was a level 3 and all but levelled darwin in '74, but she was a pup compared to this mutha.., yasi is a high level 5, they don't come any bigger than this...
it extends approx 1000 kms, or 600 miles, in diameter, with winds expected up to and quite possibly exceeding 300kms (180mph) an hour...
it's moving slowly at around 30kms an hour so it will take over 24hrs to completely pass...
the eye alone will take over an hour to go over, and then the shit hits all over again for another 12 hours or so...
my best wishes for your safekeeping, whoever you are...
