This is a series of videos over a period of an hour and a half on the morning that Larry hit, this is at my old home in Malanda.

Kinda looks tempting to walk outside and open an umbrella.

um no they are scientifically the exact same thing. The scales that are used to measure cyclone and hurricane strength are slightly different but the category 5 storms in both hemispheres are THE SAME STRENGTH

@01001101010010100100 Well Monica was (unofficially) the most powerful tropical storm ever recorded on this planet. But due to reading being taken on private equipment and not equipment that belonged to the BOM, this is unofficial. So you do your research buddy! However, Olivia did produce the 407 kph wind gust, it didn't have strong enough sustained wind to be a category 5 storm.

Omg, it was exactly like this at my house when larry hit!

Only there were cows flying.

The noise was eery and it was like waves coming from the skies. Poor Qland, praying for all involved x

@CyrusNixes you are about to be proven wrong

[01001101010010100100]

@CyrusNixes actually Monica was producing 360km/h wind gusts!

[01001101010010100100]

@CyrusNixes actually the strongest wind gust ever recorded in the world was in Australia, Cyclone Olivia in 1996 produced a wind gust of 253 m/ph - '407km/h' on Barrow Island. Cyclone Monica in 2006 had wind gusts up to 340km/h. Do some research buddy!

Nice video... In fact, CyrusNixes is completely right about everything he mentioned. That Cyclone Monica was a beast, its probably the most impressive Southern Hemisphere storm I've tracked along with Cyclone Zoe... Best Regards from Puerto Rico...

and the fact they spin in opposite directions ^.^

Do a google search and you will see in 5 seconds that Larry was not the strongest cyclone to make landfall anywhere.

Cyclone Larry made landfall with a pressure of 940mb. That's strong but every year storms make landfall with pressures much lower. Cyclone Vance had a pressure of 910mb at landfall in Australia - much, much lower than 940. Cyclone Monica made landfall in the upper 800's - the lowest perhaps anywhere in the last century.

Great video - I just want to clear up huge factual errors.
