Anyone have the world recognised 10 minutes sustained figures for recent US cyclones? (er , sorry, typhoons, er, hurricanes?)
I think we use the metric system in the medical field.

Well, here's a question that doesn't involve scales.
I notice that many intense cyclones tend to rev up in intensity or maintain a strong intensity before landfalling on western Australia.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a large portion of western Australia a desert? If so, wouldn't that mean dry air would get sucked into the storm like in the Gulf of Mexico?

Yes, the majority of WA is plain, flat desert. I really don't know, but I know quite a few cyclones that have survived for a long time in the desert regions. Cyclone George survived in the inland Pilbara for quite a long time. Much of the region is really dry.

Yeah, I think Cyclone Chris still maintained an eye well after landfall.
Also, I think Cyclone Gertie in 1995 actually developed an eye AFTER landfall.
