Once I made my 7th Grade Science/Math teacher cry for making an observational comment that the day's lesson had nothing new to teach me and that the book I was reading at the time was more interesting.

Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasi's certainly a big one...

That's it up in the top-right. Looks like I might get some rain down here in the Gold Coast. I'll just be getting the southern edge of the cloud, not the main cyclone.

Meanwhile places that are expecting to get the main part are evacuating

Welcome back. I won't be trying for a cookie.

Yasi is looking impressive today!

Pretty much Cairns-Townsville will be hit badly by this mega storm. Due to the fact it hasnt quite made contact with land, its still very possible of reaching a category 5 status prior to landfall..

Yeah i have no interesting thing to post. Look at my signature maybe? (Our weather here has been normal )

Icy conditions in Pittsburgh. But compared to the rest of the country, this winter has been rather mild. There has been plenty of snow but it has been spaced out so as not to cripple the region.

We have now in Slovakia about -4

Ok, people need to be adding numbers to their posts.

2113 - Just came across this picture:

Yasi has been confirmed as a category 5 now.

Anyone seen the new Wall Street movie? Excellent movie.

Pfft...tropical storms. We've apperently got the biggest snow storm in..many years. 30 ft waves on Lake Michigan are expected too. So it's kinda like a tropical storm...just not.

In the Australian scale, in the Atlantic scale its 10mph from category 5 status.

[astronelson 339]

2118.

Well, I guess our storms are just a little more *puts sunglasses on* Pacific.

Although, more seriously, it's pretty bad already. 10mph isn't really going to make much difference at this point. It might get there though.

Things I did tonight that I never would've guessed I'd do: trek around New Rochelle at night carrying a laptop in a plastic grocery bag.

Long story short: really bad train trouble.

A couple of weeks ago, my dad slipped on ice and hit his head(He's fine now)

I had my blood pressure checked today. It's 120/70.

[Larks2242 251]

2123.

Not sure if that is good or bad, i'm no doctor.

[Frdm920 50]

2 hours, 30 minutes until Impact. Australia (and Queensland in particular) are going to wake up tomorrow to a scene of devastation.

@ Astro, well you're in the "Normal" range but not "Optimal" which is 120/80

@ Larks read above it's a good thing

[astronelson 339]

2125.

Well, I'd rather have hypotension than hypertension. Not that I have either. I occasionally have spells of orthostatic hypotension, but that's nothing really important.

And optimal blood pressure is <120/80, not just 120/80.

Yasi's eyewall is almost 500km long! Thats huge for a tropical cyclone making landfall!

Pretty much Townsville-Cairns is getting hit by the eyewall, the eye made landfall south of Innisfail, but the entire cost up from Mackay is being affected.

Winds are 5mph off cat 5 strength in the Atlantic hurricane scale..almost made it.. Doesnt make a difference really, a tropical storm can be more deadly/costly then a tiny major hurricane, same goes here, a huuuge category 4 can be way more deadly/costly then a tiny category 5.

(no doubt that if Yasi had more ocean, it would be a super storm in a few hours)

[Muck308 55]

I'm still amazed by how huge this storm is.

[Vahr 341]

2128

Indeed... and I'm getting hit by the midwest storm. 2nd day that pretty much everything has been shut down.
