Super Cyclone Yasi Heads For Queensland With UPDATES
PA Pundits International ^ | 31 January 2011 | TonyfromOz

Posted on 02/02/2011 6:53:39 AM PST by TonyfromOz

This is the most recent UPDATE for this Post. Major Category 5 Tropical Cyclone Yasi crossed the Queensland coastline at Mission beach, around 20 miles south of Innisfail, and 65 miles South of Cairns at midnight. Winds at the core of the Cyclone, now intensely worse than Hurricane Katrina, are around 190MPH. Reports coming from the area are sketchy, and not much will be seen or known until the morning. I have links to live TV coverage, Live radio coverage, major media reports, weather radar images, links to satellite imagery, and I will be continuing with further UPDATES.

That storm is an absolute monster. We’ll see the rare hurricane that’s a Category 5, and the rare hurricane that covers as much area as Yasi, but I don’t think there’s ever been an Atlantic or Gulf hurricane that’s combined Yasi’s power and size. If that thing hit New Orleans, it’d make Katrina look like a leaky bathtub.

Prayers for the folks in northern Queensland, this may not be pretty come the dawn.

An unusual off-season ping for our Aussie friends.

Super Tropical Cyclone makes landfall near Cairns, Queensland.

A Cat 5 monster storm, clockwise rotation, winds 180+ mph.

Perfect timing for landfall just after an EWRC and drop in pressure. There has to be at least a 30 ft surge and 10 plus ft for 150 miles.

Wouldn’t this be the storm season down under?

This monster is going to displace a lot of saltwater crocs and it’s plausible that some Great Whites get washed ashore.

Thanks for the ping. Seems only FReepers are following this. Not much in the ‘news’.

Prayers for our Aussie friends.

I could have said...An unusual off-season ping for the North Atlantic Tropical basin so that we may take note of our Aussie friends who are being pummeled during their Tropical storm season.

I thought folks would be alert enough to figure it out. Apparently, I was wrong.

I honestly didn’t know when there’s was. Just figured it might be since they’ve had all the flooding, but that relates to ours, which may or may not be the same.

FROM ACCUWEATHER: “The site of [Yasi’s] landfall was a little south of Innisfail, which was devastated by the direct landfall of Category-4 T.C. Larry in March, 2006.”

“A storm landfalling with winds of this strength has the potential to cause damage rivaling that of a tornado, but over a much broader swath.”

Landfall was at Dunk Island - and then directly to the inland town of Tully.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMM . . . . THX.

Pinging the list.

So, was the new report worth getting at all, or not?

Not. Total rehash of old stuff.

I wonder if his broke like mine did...

Just stopped kicking out new cross-references and left everything stuck on peaks. Only he won't impact his income adversely by admitting it.
