When did Cyclone Yasi end?
Once a cyclone hits land, that is usually the end of its force. Cyclone Yasi made landfall on 3 February 2011, and although some of its power was gone, it was unusual in that it did keep going, and continued to travel another 800 km inland before finally being downgraded to less-than hurricane strength the following day, on 4 February.

How did cyclone Tracy effect the earths hydrosphere?
Cyclone Tracy's impact was more localized to the area it directly affected (Northern Australia) rather than the entire Earth's hydrosphere. The cyclone caused significant flooding, storm surges, and intense rain which disrupted the local hydrosphere by altering water levels and causing erosion. However, overall global impact on Earth's hydrosphere was minimal.

Officially, 71 people died in tropical cyclone Tracy, which struck Darwin, the capital city of Australia's Northern Territory, overnight on December 24, 1974, continuing until the morning of December 25. Most of the city was destroyed in the cyclone.Initially, 65 deaths were reported: 49 on land and 16 at sea, but on March 17, 2005 a new Coroner's report found six people on board the vessel Booya, which sank in Darwin Harbour during Cyclone Tracy, to have perished at sea. This effectively revised the previous 'lost at sea' estimate; the official death toll from Cyclone Tracy stands at 71: 49 on land and 22 at sea. The Northern Territory Department of Justice link below documents the Coroner's findings in the matter. Many believe the actual losses to be much higher than the Coronial findings.The Cyclone Tracy Website link includes detailed information as well as a collection of oral histories recorded by locals living in Darwin at the time of the disaster.For a quick-reference fact sheet on Cyclone Tracy, see the Emergency Management Australia link. The Northern Territory Library link supplies data and features an extensive photo collection, while the Wikipedia link provides further information on the disaster. Further information and oral histories can also be viewed at the "Enjoy Darwin" website.
