Perhaps not even worth hanging around. Much easier to rebuild a house but not so a family.Saw a picture on Performance forums comparing Yasi to Katrina / Larry and Tracy. Crazy stuff indeed Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/72999-cyclone-yasi/#findComment-1077414 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was tracking West for most of the day till early this evening. Last couple of updates has it tracking WSW. So will be interesting to see if it turns further durng the early morning. There was a trough down south keeping it up, but the trough has since weakened and may suck Yasi down. We aren't out of the woods yet down here.Hope you are prepared mate, stay safe.Same goes for the rest of the NQ'ers.

Crazy stuff indeed Quote 1. Thats not an image of Tracy lol2. The comparisons aren't relevant. 1000mm (TCY) how long?, Tracy for eight hours?, why not 24h3. Tracy moved slowly across Darwin at 8kph3. What about duration of event?Bit of a media hype up as the stats aren't really relevant?
