There's no mention of Tropical Cyclone Yasi on the Bureau of Meteorology's weather warnings website... or for any cyclones right now, for that matter. There's one on the four-day forecast though, so they'll probably put a warning up soon.

What kind of a name is Yasi?

[Frdm920 50]

2073

No clue. I really don't get why we even need to give them names couldn't we just refer to them as "Cyclone X" "Hurricane Y" etc?

[un1 41]

Frdm: Media (saves confusion, we retire names to respect the dead people (if there was tons) or the country that got devastated by it, also if it is a record breaking storm in a country ie "Worst ever, worst in 100s of years")

astro: Watches are issued 72 hours before landfall. Warnings 24 before landfall.

Eh, I tend to prefer standard format designations. Something like, say, this: year-ocean-number-class. So, the second storm in the pacific in 2011 would be 2011-P-02-TS. We can use "A" for Atlantic and "I" for Indian oceans. And at the end, TD = Tropical Depression, TS = Tropical Storm, H1 = cateogry 1 hurricane, H2 = category 2 hurricane, etc.

This is superior to names since the meaning can be derived immediately and each storm's designation is unique.

Hey Duke, we got a good team, better then how the Yankees are looking this year.

[Duke87 1,070]

(2085)

All I know is that the Phillies definitely have a better team than the Braves. Comparing to the Yankees isn't entirely relevant since they're in the other league... but that's still a brash statement. Care to back it up?

Oh yes, Jeff Masters from Wunderblog called it "potentially historic". Have fun in up to 1/4" ice.

Tomorrow and Wednesday have sleet and freezing rain on the forecast... fun.

Yasi is still moving towards the north Queensland coast and strengthening...

[Frdm920 50]

2092

Yasi is also set to possibly be the worst Cyclone in QLD's history

Astro. I'm sure you guys have had enough D:

It's never going to stop raining! It's going to keep raining through all the holidays, like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Florida!

See? I told you guys Florida was a holiday. Which proves the existance of Santa, because Larksy lives in Florida, meaning he lives in a holiday land. That means holiday lands exist, and because Christmas is one of the biggest, Santa must be real and live in Christmas Land.

Cleveland, eh?

[un1 41]

2028 - I live in a land of rocks and trees and freshwater.

Anyways, Yasi is 2011s third major hurricane. 115mph winds, expected to barely reach cat 5 strength prior to landfall. It will be moving very very slowly, so damage will be extensive.

...I would be running away from this storm if I lived between Townsville and Innisfail

I was in Cleveland this summer(Actually, sorta, my family and I visited Cuyohoga valley-Very beautifial area).One thing that confused us were the highways(Took a lot of backtracking to get to the National park)

The thing I like about Cleveland is the way they label their streets. A sign tells you what the cross street is going to be with plenty of time to make the turn. Very handy for out-of-towners.
