Just as a point of reference..
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina’s peak winds were about 175 MPH or so, and caused vast destruction.. The storm being seen in Australia at this moment may have winds in excees of 183 mph… This storm is larger than Katrina and stronger as well..
Yasi has "unprecedented ferocity"
Australian report on Yasi reads like this:
Cyclone Yasi is building as a storm of unprecedented ferocity - the likes of which hasn’t been seen since 1918.
Yasi is on track to make landfall between Innisfail and Cardwell about 10pm (AEST) on Wednesday, with authorities confident they have the site within a 30km range of accuracy

ALL THE TROUBLE IN THE WORLD.
As the great 2000 Mile of 2011 Blizzard strikes the United States with over a foot of snow in places and inches of ice in others, the other part of the world is nervously awaiting fate as Cyclone Yasi churns.. While people will be hunkering down within the next few minutes to hours, authorities are amplifying the fear by telling Australians: Don’t panic if the roof comes off. Other dire warnings include $500 mil or more in damage to sugarcane growers. Devastation is coming, they say, for banana growers. .. Island paradise turns into island fear.
And besides the fear over how much money will be lost in farms, other immediate concerns turn to human life itself. How many people are prepared for this storm? The onslaught is due to be challenging at best and life threatening for hours at worst..
People in Australia are bracing for drenching rains and ferocious winds. Cyclone Yasi has achieved an unthinkable but very real Category 5 status tonight, tomorrow their time…
And this to a nation that has been ravaged by floods and true horror over the past several weeks.
