Somebody here introduced me to the aforementioned map and I’ve been checking it regularly, so thanks.

Today we have this, which is pretty awesome.

There is a lot more that can be done with it than what is on the surface. This is a very powerful tool. Check it out by clicking the earth. If you don’t believe, then google the tutorial on youtube.

Makes me wonder again about harnessing the winds around Antarctica. The roaring forties, the furious fifties, the screaming sixties.

If you use the map to its capacity, the winds can be seen at various heights. The speeds are markedly different.

While it’s essentially the same thing and it’s not quite as groovy on the graphics, this one is a lot easier to use.

I can’t remember any other incident when two tropical cyclones hit Australia at the same time.

The Brisbane Times has an 86 page website covering the history of Cyclone Marcia
