Is it possible to get consistent use of time zone recordings in this article. eg. use of 5pm or 7pm, etc. What time zone are we talking about? Z, UTC, AEDST, AEST, GMT, etc. Thanks Jherschel ( talk) 14:25, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
Queensland does not have Daylight Savings, and is GMT +11. Comes.amanuensis ( talk) 13:44, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

The majority of the media is pronouncing it as Yahzee - Jimmetry ( talk) 11:07, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
The media usually get Pacific Island names wrong (eg footballers Tuqiri and Civoniceva - media calls them "tookeeree" and "sivoniseva" instead of the correct "toonggeeree" and "thivonitheva"). Yasi is a Fijian name, and pronounced "Yah-see". Ptilinopus ( talk) 13:44, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
i thought it is a cat 5...? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamjackhk ( talk • contribs) 10:14, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Well the sustained wind speed is only 205km/h (as of the 9pm update), so by SSHS it would actually be Category 3. However, American hurricanes are rated by 1-minute sustained winds rather than 10 as the rest of the world would... by that it's 230km/h and indeed Category 4. - Jimmetry ( talk) 11:16, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Latest NASA tracking as of today have upgrade Yasi to CAT5 on the Saffir Simpson scale: [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Comes.amanuensis ( talk • contribs) 13:13, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
NASA has confirmed that Yasi is category 5 on the Saffir Simpson scale. I would update it myself but i cannot find how to, so would someone be able to update it? Birdstothewind ( talk) 13:42, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Yasi might not be cat 5 all the time, but it passed the cat 5 line for short period and both NASA and ABOM agree that it is a cat 5 cyclone under Saffur simpson scale.
also Katrina was a cat 3 hurricane when she eventually made landfall, but on wiki Katrina it was listed as cat 5 still, so it doesn't matter when and how long the cat 5 wind speed had lasted...as long as it reached the windspeed at some point we should call it a cat 5 cyclone under Saffur simpson scale.

Although it is very likely Yasi may turn out to be Queensland's worst cyclone in history, since there are currently no damage/death reports out yet, I believe it should be left as Cyclone Yasi (2011) until damages are out, since assuming it will be destructive violates WP:OR. Should it be kept with the year for now? Rye998 ( talk) 20:38, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Well, I know Hurricane Karl got moved, but it wasn't moved at the instant it hit land; i'm just saying until we do get a damage bill(likely to be huge), we should keep it with the year... Rye998 ( talk) 20:43, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
I can agree with that; Yasi 1996 wasn't even given an article and isn't viewed hardly ever. In that case, it doesn't violate WP:OR, but I was just saying it violates WP:OR to move the article assuming it did tons of damage; Karl's article wasn't moved at the start because no one could have expected it to do 5.6 billion in damage right off the bat; however, I don't think there is any point of moving the article now and have to move it back 2-3 days later when a damage bill in the billions of dollars comes out. I guess this discussion has been concluded. Rye998 ( talk) 20:51, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
In the article, it says "Cyclone Yasi caused 3.5 billion in damage in Queensland. It was the second-costliest cyclone in Australia's history with inflation. Without inflation, it's the costliest, surpassing Cyclone Larry in 2006 which caused AUS 1 billion in damage". That is false; even if Larry's damage was inflated, Tracy is still ahead of Larry. Should that statement be changed? Rye998 ( talk) 21:28, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
In that case, should Tracy be put there instead of Larry? Rye998 ( talk) 22:01, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Actually, Larry and Tracy are tied at 800 million in damage without inflation. In that case, should both be put in, or should the whole thing be taken out since it isn't extremly notable? Rye998 ( talk) 22:50, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Its a single story thats emerged overnight, http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/wa/8786138/yasi-fanned-the-flames-in-wa/ for now I'll leave it upto you guys to decide if its worth inclusion. Gnan garra 01:01, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Just to let people know the BoM has just revised their preliminary TCR and lowered the intensity of Yasi to MSW: 110kts (205 km/h) Gusts: 155kts (285km/h) and raise the pressure to 929 hPa. Full details in this PRELIMINARY tropical cyclone report. Jason Rees ( talk) 07:47, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
I see that a response section has been included for special focus on the response by the government after the cyclone. However, it consists of only one brief sentence. Either the section should be expanded or merged with the impact section. That is because, the impact section is too big and the response section is too small. It makes the page look ugly. -- Anirudh Emani ( talk) 14:40, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
The article is at "Cyclone Yasi" which is the most commonly used name, but the talk page remains at "Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasi". Should it be changed to match the article name? Rye998 ( talk) 17:58, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
As far as i know there has been no formal decision on if Yasi will be retired yet from Nadis list (and yes they do retire names if they have a serious effect on Queensland). Anyone waiting for a formal decision will have to wait until the WMO RA V conference that will due to be taking place at some point in the next year. Jason Rees ( talk) 19:48, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
