Local disaster management groups were briefed by Ms Bligh and Emergency Management Queensland bosses last night.


They were told the dangerous cyclone is exceptionally large.


“At the moment, there’s an extraordinary amount of planning for this event because it is unprecedented in scale,” police assistant commissioner Katarina Carroll said.


“The weather bureau has never seen anything like it before. The area it will take in is huge.”


Areas as far north as Cooktown are on the weather bureau’s watchlist, but cyclone Yasi is predicted to belt parts of the Far North about Innisfail and further south, where cyclone Larry struck in 2006

Monster Tropical Cyclone Yasi a very, very serious threat- Local Cairns News | cairns.com.au

Biggest cyclone that the Aussies have seen hitting Northeast Australia, at the same time as the biggest storm seen in modern times in the US is hitting the MidWest. Well made point there, Kooky.

Do away with the smiley faces there, old boy. It would improve the view.

That list doesn't tell us how big the storm was, just how many died. Many were before modern forecasting and building codes that surely save many lives today, regardless of storm strength. This is just another instance of skooks using cherry-picked data to make a point. Just like the deniers only look at malfunctioning instruments and ignore the vast majority that are working properly.

[editec]

Can you GW obsessed debaters just take a moment out to pity poor Queensland?

Still trying to cope with the worst flood event in its history, and now the worst cyclone " the weather bureau has never seen" is headed for the same place with still more torrential rains.

I mean the event itself is important outside of the issue of whether this is indicative of GW, is it not?

God! boys, give it a rest!

Thats right.........we're all pretty certain that it was just a silly rainstorm killed 1/2 a million people in 1970!!!

Again I'll state..........the hopelessly duped want people to think big weather events started in 1998!!!

Building codes are a product of the First World Nations. For the most part the Third World ignores them. And no, he made a very valid observation, you alarmists ignore EVERYTHING that has happened prior to 30 years ago. It's in your DNA. The essence of science is to examine what has happened in the past (because it's going to happen again don't you know) and attempt to understand why they happen. There are many reasons why scientists do this, simply to know, to prevent disasters from happening again etc. etc. etc.

The difference with this new modern climatology is it exists, apparently, to make money and set political agenda.

Indeed, here's my friends farm going under. Note the time stamps and just how fast the water came up. This is the Lockyer Creek overflowing.
