People prepared for the Cyclone Yasi by leaving the country
Cyclone Yasi happened due to a combination of warm ocean temperatures, low wind shear, and favorable atmospheric conditions in the region. These factors allowed the cyclone to form and intensify into a powerful storm.
Cyclone Yasi formed in the waters just off Fiji.
Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasi was given its name in Fiji. The cyclone started as a tropical low near Fiji, and when it was upgraded to a cyclone, it was given a Fijian name by the Fiji Meteorological Service.
