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

Be safe no matter your location or temperature.

Do you like throwing weather out of proportion? -bill
Thanks for the feedback.. And my official “follower” Freddy gif thanks you too.
"Great" question "bill" .. I don’t know what exactly you mean "throwing"
the weather out of proportion? Perhaps you meant “blowing” it out of proportion. And no, I don’t. I really don’t like it at all.. but “bill,” when you have a massive Cyclone named Yasi that is about to strike and cause human life to be lost, and when you have a storm taking up a vast portion of a continent with snow and ice, I think that is very important and meaningful. And really, it is going to affect a lot of people. 100 million here.. And while I’m not quite sure how many in Australia, I’d venture to say quite a few.
And Bill, they care. I care that my power may go out with ice.. Chicaco cares since they are crippled due to a massive blizzard.. people that have to take shelter at the Red Cross care.. And Bill, I trust you’re somewhere warm, perhaps a beach or a desert, and maybe you have a nice clear sky above your safe home, tucked away in no man’s land. But guess what, Bill, a lot of other people don’t. And since they don’t, the news becomes important.
Hence: The links, the photos, the stories. And so long as I have this little Tumblelog on the net, I will put forward what I feel is important. Even if people think I ‘throw’ it out of proportion…
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.
IMPACTS…SNOW AND ICE COVERED ROADS WILL CREATE HAZARDOUS
TRAVEL CONDITIONS. POWER OUTAGES ARE ALSO POSSIBLE DUE TO
THICK ACCRETIONS OF FREEZING RAIN.* WINDS…EAST TO NORTHEAST 5 TO 10 MPH IN THE VALLEYS…AND
SOUTHEAST 10 TO 20 MPH ON THE RIDGES. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE
WEST ACROSS THE LAUREL HIGHLANDS AND CENTRAL MOUNTAIN`S IN THE
WAKE OF A COLD FRONT WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON…AND INCREASE TO 15 TO
20 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH POSSIBLE LATER WEDNESDAY.
…Snow is one thing. Freezing rain for hours upon end are quite another. And a half inch of ice with 40 mile per hour winds is going to be possibly disastrous for a whole lot of people.
