Well we'll wait and see what happens. Those cyclones have a mind of their own, and have been known to pick up ferocity as they cross land, almost unheard of elsewhere. So who knows. Main thing is that its not a major problem at the moment .

Hey DIO, where did those stats come from, as the last time i looked, TC Larry and TC Monica would be categorised as 4 and 2 respectively.
