Tracey may be small but she absolutely flattened Darwin.
Some people said it looked similar to when Darwin was bombed during WW II. Or something like that.

I dunno it was before my time

Words cant really explain hearing on the radio that she was 898mb and that the new track was over bolivar. Which if that did happen would of put around 15 feet of water into my house.. Words cant explain the feeling you get of sadness and just. Im thankful i got a house and a family still.. I feel so bad for the MGC and New Orleans...

There is an image of Tip shortly before its record 870 mb. The typhoon seems a lot smaller in the image.

What is it about the smaller cyclones that enables them to hold extreme intensity longer than the bigger ones?
