-- Hurricane: a violent wind which has a circular movement, especially found in the West Atlantic Ocean. A hurricane is actually a violent storm formed with water which causes heavy rains and fierce winds and they can cause flooding of streets and homes.
-- Cyclone: a violent tropical storm or wind in which the air moves very fast in a circular direction. They can be formed over tropical waters, bar the Southeast Pacific and the South Atlantic Oceans. Technically, all hurricanes are cyclones but not all cyclones are hurricanes: if their wind speed is over 74 miles per hour, they're hurricanes, if not, they're just cyclones or tropical storms.
So it is now confirmed that the eye of the cyclone alone is more than 100km in diameter..
The latest satellite image shows its bigger then the entire state of Queensland, which is the state it is heading for in the image, which is roughly 1,734,157 square kilometres
Gonna be a fun day tommorow!

IF you're struggling to grasp the magnitude of Tropical Cyclone Yasi, consider this: it is so large it would almost cover the United States, most of Asia and large parts of Europe.
And the map of Yasi over the continental United States...
I have lost the right to moan about the crappy British weather now lol. Hope things are ok over there man.
I hope you chaps are alright up there. I know the people of Victoria will return the support shown to us during the 2009 bushfires.
As an aside, we shouldn't let these setbacks diminish our efforts to explore and conquer this vast continent.

Just finished up donating 20% of Jan's income to the flood relief. Looks like 20% of Feb's income will be going to storm vicitims.
I think mother nature might be a little angry with Julia after she decided to cut all of those green incentives.

Yeah its crazy down there my sister is going to uni in Townsville and she been sending me text updates. She said they got a call to evacuate but because of where they were they would not make the cut off time before they stopped people from leaving.
From what I heard the storm surge is going to be worse the Katrina.
Last text I got from her is that they were about to have there water and power cut off. Should be in for a good ride.
In 04 I was on Frazer Island when a category 3 came over us and split into 2 smaller category 2 cyclones. That was cool can not imagine what a category 5 will be like.
