Akima:
You might have heard that Cyclone Debbie, a Category Three cyclone (what would be called a hurricane in the USA, or a typhoon in Asia) has hit the Queensland coast. I live far to the south of the affected region, so I'm quite safe, but I'm worried about people up there:

pwhodges:
Looks pretty intense! The only acquaintance I have there is well north of this one, though (in Cooktown, north of Cairns), so I won't be getting dramatic pictures from him this time around, fortunately.
Method of Madness:
Holy shit, I didn't know that hurricanes, cyclones, and typhoons were the same thing.
Akima:
They're all different names for Tropical Cyclones AKA Tropical Revolving Storms in different regions of the world.
Method of Madness:
That's incredibly strange. It'd be one thing if people around the world called the storm itself different names, but to have them just have different names depending on where they are? Why?
