Remarks:
SEVERE TC YASI IS A LARGE AND VERY POWERFUL TROPICAL CYCLONE AND POSES AN EXTREMELY SERIOUS THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY WITHIN THE WARNING AREA, ESPECIALLY BETWEEN CAIRNS AND TOWNSVILLE.
THIS IMPACT IS LIKELY TO BE MORE LIFE THREATENING THAN ANY EXPERIENCED DURING RECENT GENERATIONS.
TC Yasi, CATEGORY 5, will continue to move in a west-southwesterly direction during the day. The cyclone is expected to cross the coast in the Innisfail area at about midnight.
Coastal residents within the warning area, and particularly between Cairns and Ayr are specifically warned of an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SEA LEVEL RISE [i.e. storm tide] as the cyclone approaches, crosses the coast and moves inland. The sea is likely to steadily rise up to a level which will be VERY DANGEROUSLY above the normal tide, with EXTREMELY DAMAGING WAVES, STRONG CURRENTS and FLOODING of low-lying areas extending some way inland. People living in areas likely to be affected by this flooding should take measures to protect their property as much as possible, and be prepared to follow instructions regarding evacuation of the area if advised to do so by authorities.
DAMAGING WINDS with gusts to 90 km/hr that are currently developing on coastal islands, are forecast to develop about the coast by late morning and about the tropical interior overnight.
Between Cape Tribulation and Ingham these winds will become DESTRUCTIVE with gusts in excess of 125km/hr during the afternoon and early evening and VERY DESTRUCTIVE with gusts up to 300 km/hr between Cairns and Ingham during the evening as the cyclone approaches and crosses the coast. These VERY DESTRUCTIVE winds can also occur on the seaward side of hills to the north of the cyclone and are also forecast to reach the Atherton Tablelands.
Winds are forecast to ease about the east coast during Thursday morning as the cyclone moves inland.
FLOODING RAINS will develop from Cooktown to Sarina during the afternoon and then extend inland overnight.
People between Cape Melville and Sarina, extending inland to Croydon and Richmond should complete preparations quickly and be prepared to shelter in a safe place.
- Boats and outside property should be secured.

- For emergency assistance call the Queensland State Emergency Service (SES) on 132 500 (for assistance with storm damage, rising flood water, fallen trees on buildings or roof damage).
People about the remaining tropical interior east of Camooweal and north of Winton should consider what action they will need to take if the cyclone threat increases.

It's ETA is approx. 10pm tonight (it's currently 9.30am Wednesday Feb 2nd here). So approx 12.5 hrs to go.
At first I thought we were completely safe but have just been informed that, due to the size of this bitch, it may well still hit us here at Category 2 speed. So now I'm getting a little anxious...
Nasa reports that it is currently creating 11.5M waves in the Coral Sea! 11.5 freakin metres!!! They are saying it will bring a tsunami like surge and winds over 300kph. Jeezuz!
Luckily my good mate Moto619 lives just around the corner so we are hooking up and helping each other clear the yards of potentially flying objects and get ready.
I don't worry about those
A high 2 on your scale is 63kts, which is 72mph
That's just making a hurricane here.
It's a bad windy rainy day.
What will suck for you, is the size, because it'll make the storm seem like it's lasting forever, like a 24 hr storm
Fortunately, Australia's emergency services, along with all levels of government, have already sprung into action - as they've always done whenever a disaster strikes down under. Nonetheless, we thank the World-wide Vital community for their concern and for their prayers.
I hate when that happens. . .
i wish you guys luck man! Start nailing things down and go on a far away road trip. Either way....get the hell out of Dodge!
Yikes, THAT'S ME!!!!!!!! Shiiiiit
Pit Row
But I really hope everyone will get out because we know what kind of things can happen after katrina.
hang in there mates!
Thinkin of you guys down here that's for sure.
I got some Reflex in this afternoon just in case I'm without power for a while... Did a couple of PB's too. Finally got under 1.40 for Kingston 1 and into the 1.06's at, er, Fort Dodge I think it was.
Damn this bastard looks angry:
For the record I live 200klms west to south/west of Mackay (as does Moto619) just on the edge of the red area. Another 100klms south/west is Byrners home town where he grew up.
Is that really the correct size compared to the USA? If it is.....God help you guys down in Ausville! I have never seen anything like that....ever!
Man , all you guys posting from Australia right now , I would be heading for the mountains and a cave to stay in. That is incredible!
Post a reply to: Some of you may...
