The name Larry was given to the cyclone by the Fiji Meteorological Service. In the South Pacific region, cyclones are named by designated meteorological authorities. The name Larry was chosen from a list of pre-determined names for the season.
Cyclone Larry made landfall in north Queensland, Australia near the town of Innisfail on March 20, 2006. It caused significant damage to the area, including destroying homes, crops, and infrastructure.
Cyclone Wanda itself caused no deaths. It was a relatively low-category cyclone (the actual category does not seem to be recorded anywhere) but its beiggest claim to fame was the amount of rain it dumped on the Brisbane catchment area, contributing significantly to the Brisbane floods of January 1974. These floods resulted in 14 deaths.
Cyclones are essentially caused by a combination of warm ocean temperatures, high humidity and low wind shear, which means differences in wind velocity and direction at different heights. If the wind shear is high, it can pull a cyclone apart. Low wind shear increases the chances of the cyclone developing. Cyclone Larry was caused by these factors, in particular, the warm waters of the Coral Sea, where it formed.
When Cyclone Larry hit Australia in 2006, the lithosphere, which is the solid outer layer of the Earth, remained largely unaffected. Cyclones mainly impact the atmosphere and hydrosphere, causing high winds, heavy rainfall, and flooding, but they do not cause significant changes to the lithosphere itself.
Cyclone Larry crossed the Queensland coast on 7 April 2006.
