Cyclone Yasi formed in the waters just off Fiji.
Cyclone Yasi formed on the 26th of January, 2011 in the Coral Sea off the coast of Queensland, Australia.
As with all cyclones, Cyclone Yasi was generated from a low pressure system out at sea some days earlier. The sea temperatures and weather conditions were simply right for a cyclone to be generated from the tropical low.
The size of Cyclone Yasi is about 500km wide.

Well Yasi hit where I live and it was bigger but not stronger. :) :)
Cyclone Yasi formed in the Coral Sea in 2011 due to warm ocean temperatures and favorable atmospheric conditions, typical for tropical cyclone development. The cyclone intensified rapidly due to these factors, making it a Category 5 storm at its peak. Yasi's impact was severe due to its strength, causing widespread damage in Australia, particularly in Queensland.
Cyclone Yasi began on January 26, 2011 and lasted until February 3, 2011. It was a powerful tropical cyclone that formed in the Coral Sea near Fiji and intensified as it moved towards northeastern Australia, causing significant damage in Queensland.
