Australia braces for second severe tropical cyclone
Severe tropical cyclone Monica is expected to hit the northeast corner of Australia, about where cyclone Larry hit about a month ago. Monica is expected to have winds of 200KPH, (125MPH) by the time it hits Queensland sometime late Wednesday. Larry devastated Innisfail, and other parts of Queensland state with 180 mph winds in March, and people are still trying to recover from that. Australia is experiencing what the US did last year with three powerful hurricanes struck the Gulf Coast region. Although Monica will not cause as much damage as Larry did, residences should nonetheless prepare for a major storm.


Does this have anything to do with global warming???

2. SST anomaly maps show that waters in that region are 1.5C above average.
Extra heat energy to power the storm.
