It's frisky OK, nothing to take chances with ... if in doubt, get out!

Ta, interesting comparisons ... it's very interesting over at the WeatherZone forum, lots of minds trying to predict this one.

:ohmy:

It's massive! The animation is awesome.

Hope it doesn't wreak havoc, but it will. :(

I would evacuate now if it was heading here.

Wonder what will happen if she slows down for a bit of a breather.

You know, to take on some extra sustenance. :eek:

Re: Tropical Cyclone Yasi
 

Apparently this storm has the potential to be the biggest storm QLD has ever seen.

Indeed. Very scary.

Re: Tropical Cyclone Yasi
 

I am watching Channel 10 news (don't blame me, our remote is buggered) and I can't believe Yasi isn't top story ... It has a very complacent feel about the whole thing.

I hope it fizzles out but ...

I hope it fizzles out too. I really don't like the look of the maps and plans that are coming across my desk, and I can't believe its not top story on the news (not that I've seen any news today). However, when I consider that I have people telling me I'm scaring them by mentioning storm surges and saying that they just don't want to know, I'm starting to wonder whether I'm actually dreaming the whole thing. Yes it might not happen, but people said that about Larry and Tracy, and then all they could say afterwards was "Why didn't we get more warnings".
Perhaps I should just stick my head in the sand like a large part of the State seems to be, and hope it all goes away.

Re: Tropical Cyclone Yasi
 

There's an increasing number of my work colleagues here in Cairns who are doing the equivalent of sticking their fingers in their ears and going, 'la la la la...' over this. They are the same ones who were worried about Anthony. A friend of mine who had the roof of her house in Innisfail ripped off by Larry said she felt the same level of complacency from work colleagues then.

It seems like some people can't deal with the size of this one and therefore refuse to accept that it might hit us. Of course a lot of them veer south and hit Bowen or Ayr (they seem to get loads) but Larry didn't...

Re: Tropical Cyclone Yasi
 

Yep, that might be it, they think its something out of a sci fi film and won't happen in reality. Its like leading a horse to water really, you can tell them but you can't make them listen. I've even had to take stuff off my facebook page tonight because of people ridiculing the info I've posted. Yet I can see the papers on Thursday now "Why weren't we warned......."

Re: Tropical Cyclone Yasi
 

Keep up the good work, I don't post much but have been reading all your posts about this cyclone to the letter. We've only been up here since the begining of December so have been fortunate enough not to have experienced a cyclone yet. This one has got me really worried, can only hope it fizzles out abit :( before it gets here.
Just my luck, first cyclone, and its freeekin huge, nothing but the best for me eh!

Re: Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasi
 

Looks to be a big girl on the radar!

On my first trip to Oz we did a cruise from Cairns to Townsville and we had an encounter with a cyclone one afternoon, the Captain was trying to out run it and get us to a safe harbour for the night. Just lets say it was "interesting" but also quite scary and I think that was only a little one.

Batten down the hatches and stay safe everyone up there!
