Sorry, how has this not been mentioned anywhere on here??
http://www.cairns.com.au/article/2011/01/31/147001_local-news.html
So a cyclone that could cover the USA or Asia or most of Europe is about to fuck Australia into hell. I've only just heard about it on the news so I'm tracking it now for funs, its midnight in Aussie right now and this thing is about to cause pure hell carnage. Australia is a damn unlucky country

you get systems as big as that over europe regularly, obviously not cyclones or as intense, but the intense stuff is only a fraction of all of that, 400miles

Struth! Thats massive! How likely is it to actually hit Australia. The article I read was all 'if' and 'could' cross the coast etc....

that relates to its intensity not its size, its not a cat 5 storm across the entire range of that infrared image you see imposed, just near the center.
Its a hell of a intense storm, but saying it would cover usa etc, is ott

Type 28A box and make sure you move into the part of the pillbox that has the anti grenade wall inside.
As seen here
