  • @CyrusNixes Wrong. Hurricane Camille (August 1969) had 190mph sustained winds. Hurricane Andrew (August 1992) had 175mph sustained winds both stronger than Monica

  • @aus2045 you have soooo got to be a troll, your from bloody emerald for god sake

  • Have you ever done any research? Do a google search and you will see in 5 seconds cyclones and hurricanes are identical. The strongest cyclone to make landfall in Australia (Cyclone Monica in 2006) was stronger than any US hurricane.

    I think it's weird someone from ustralia would degrade there own storms as if they are somehow weaker than other tropical cyclones. They are all the same - obviously there are weak ones and strong ones, but thats the case anywhere they form.

  • Tropical Cyclones, Hurricanes and Typhoons are one and the same thing. Fighting over which is stronger is a mute point. Context plays a big part, for example had Larry hit Florida as a Hurricane there would have have been incredible destruction simply due to dense population in Florida. Some Typhoons in the north Pacific reach 'super typhoon' status, going beyond a CAT 5 cyclone, but as they weaken by the time they hit large landmasses they do not get much media attention.

  • ya right mysterio, cyclones are worse than hurracanes. look up pictures on the web.

  • No need to mouth off like an druk bogan.

  • Your a wanker mate.

  • No, a cyclone is like a "mini-hurricane". They look similar and share a similar structure, but Hurricanes are bigger and much stonger.

  • so is a cyclone like a hurricane

  • i was in a cat 3 cyclone when i was a kid, but i moved back to melb before larry hit. looks hard core!
