Stay safe, Ken Martindale From: owner-personal_submersibles@psubs.org [mailto:owner-personal_submersibles@psubs.org] On Behalf Of lawrie-psubs@environics.com.au Just got off the phone to family in north Queensland. The sea level is beginning to rise as Yasi closes in on the coast. In some areas the surge is predicted to be 4 to 5 m and other places as high as 7 m over 22 feet of rise in a period of about 3 hours. It bombed out about an hour ago, which means the eye of the storm has dramactically gotten smaller which means the wind speeds are increase as it gets into shallow water, 300 klm plus is predicted. To give you an idea of the size of this awsome demonstration of mother natures power check out this link which places the cyclone ir image over the US. It would cover much of the US. It is the biggest cyclone in our history. Going to be an interesting night. |
