200 km/h is terminal velocity. This cyclone will push you at 1G, horizontally.

Good point. The poor souls.

The charity Shelterbox helps out after this kind of storm. I’m a regular subscriber.

I read that as “Cyclone Palin” at first, and couldn’t figure out what she was doing over there.

My father in law is over there right now, so crossing my fingers he’s inland right now.

Looking at that photo of a massive storm covering a large percentage of the world’s population is scary.

My first thought was this was the first shot fired from the volley to name hurricanes after climate change deniers.
