You can have it, it's Category 5 (290 km/h) in the centre. :)

For those Americans, 290 km/h is about 180 mph.
Tommorrow is going to be very windy ... and if I see cars flying, God help us.

Yeouch. Looks like it'll pass but if it turns... :(
Isn't Category 5 the highest?

Yes, anything cat 5 is bad news. The Cyclone code for houses in Darwin handles only up to Cat 4.
We have another Cat 5 fly past a few years ago, but Cyclone Tracy trashed 90% of Darwin in 1974. Tracy was at least Cat 4, and suspected Cat 5.

Center of the thing is now rated at 320 km/h (or 200 mph). Just this part of Australia, lucky me. :confused:
