Good work @whileponderin , Tropical Cyclones (as they are called here) are a very real concern for many locations around the work. The power of these storms is awesome.

Here (in Australia) we get impacted a couple of times per year, mainly in the relatively unpopulated north, although occasionally the small cities Darwin, Cairns, Townsville and Mackay are hit hard. Sydney and Brisbane are more impacted by Extra tropical storms.

Just an interesting fact, the current world record for non-tornadic wind speed is held by Tropical Cyclone Olivia at 408 kph!
