Cyclone Yasi was a severe tropical cyclone that struck northeastern Australia in February 2011. It was one of the strongest cyclones to ever hit the country, reaching a maximum intensity of Category 5. Yasi caused widespread devastation, damaging homes, infrastructure, and agricultural crops in the region. Despite its strength, there were no direct fatalities reported as a result of the cyclone.
It is difficult to directly compare the severity of Cyclone Tracy and Cyclone Yasi as each cyclone had different impacts and affected different areas. However, Cyclone Tracy, which struck Darwin, Australia in 1974, caused more loss of life and extensive damage to the city compared to Cyclone Yasi, which hit northern Queensland in 2011. Both cyclones were significant in their own right, but Cyclone Tracy is often considered one of the most devastating cyclones to hit Australia.
Mine would do 110 km/h on pavement if there was no wind. It also reaches this speed in about 12-14 seconds.
During Cyclone Justin (March 1997), a total of 37 people died. Thirty died in Papua New Guinea, two died in Queensland, and five people died on a yacht out at sea.
Cyclones form and occur in a variety of areas around the world. "Cyclone" is the generic term for cyclones, typhoons and hurricanes. Cyclones develop in the warm seas near the equator, but do not cross the equator. Those in the Southern Hemisphere are usually known as cyclones, but cyclones in the China Sea region are often called typhoons, whilst those in the Americas and the Atlantic Ocean are known as hurricanes.
Cyclones are prevalent in humid, tropical, warm to hot regions. They require a minimum sea temperature of 26.5 degrees Celsius in order to form. They do not usually occur north of the Tropic of Cancer or south of the Tropic of Capricorn as the sea temperature is not generally high enough to support the development of a cyclone. There are always exceptions, however, and in Australia they have been known to move south of the Tropic of Capricorn after forming further north. This is because they follow the warm water currents.
60 trillion people were killed by zombies during yasi and 30 trillion were killed by rabbid animals.
Board up the windows, find a safe place or leave, depending on your situation. Have canned food and bottled water if you stay and hope for the best.

Cyclones usually travel over ocean waters on an average of 300 to 400 miles a day. They are the most strongest then, but when they travel over colder ocean waters or land, they will begin to weaken.
Cyclone Yasi travelled through more than one country. I'm in the Solomon Islands and it hit parts of this country, and then went to Australia (the state of Queensland). Australia was the last country it hit. I'm not sure where it was before the Solomon Islands..... maybe Fiji.
