All category 4 and below Casio.
So your point is invalid and you fail again.....it skimmed QLD, re-intensified in the Gulf of Carpentaria and then hit the NT so when it first hit landfall it wasn't a Category 5, it was a Cat 3. Not to mention it's been 24hrs here and Yasi is still a Cat 1 cyclone at Mt.Isa. Monica couldn't even keep it's strength in that time after hitting the NT and turned into a tropical depression, so Yasi is a more destructive cyclone than Monica aswell as lasting for a greater duration.
Yes it is, but feel free to argue with the meterologists and historians that reported those things.
I don't need to, you're doing all the arguing with the meteorologists.

And no offence to those picture you're showing, because obviously it's a great impact to those who have had houses effected. But a lot of those are just missing steel roofing or some street signs.
I mean, look:
In the background is a weatherboard house raised on timber and it's still standing perfectly fine with little damage.

See mafia_boy you forget, this means nothing to Casio because their streets always look like this in Melbourne.
Nah, I can't see any needles in those pics.
