there are some great images of a perfectly formed cyclone up the top end of australia. Its already crossed Queensland into Gulf of Carpentaria, and is expected to reach Cat5 tonight its fairly small in size but very intense near its centre, with winds expected to top 180mph. the eye is actually quite large as you can see!

its category 5 now, central pressure 935hPa. can you imagine being in a supertanker in that though very high seas with phenomenal swells.

its now one of the most powerful cyclones ever recorded. winds are up to 230mph/350kmh in the centre, and pressure has dropped to a very low 900hpa. awesome power

I got my old 1.2 Corsa up to 230mph once, but I had to slow down because I ran out of road.
