She / he is a big one.
If you have Google Earth on your computer , in the LH column under the title layers, you may need to click on the little arrow head beside the word layers, put a tick in the box for weather. This will add satellite imagery of clouds to the globe. Have a look to the east and check out Yasi.

If that doesnt work then the link below will give you satellite imagery.

The link below will give you the 4 day forecast tracking map for the above.

The link below will give the current weather/cyclone warnings.

Hope all stay safe and well.

Where did they get the Y from. The last 3 have been Zelia, Anthony and Bianca.

Unless Yasi was formed before Zelia.

hi glassies, you might just be ok by the 10th although iv'e no doubt you will still be able to see where the storm has been, hard to say, this one is a monster.
