Southern hemisphere hurricanes/typhoons/cyclones

[KennyR]

Are there any? I can't think of any. Isn't that strange?

There is more sea and less land in the southen hemisphere...

Hum,
What is believed the first-ever hurricane in the South Atlantic Ocean was recorded just a few months ago...
It was a minimal hurricane with winds of 74-95 mph, and was first spotted 275 miles off Brazil.
It has no name because of its unique nature.

Heh, nice - it's even spinning clockwise, the opposite way from northern cyclones. Coriolis effect proven.

well, as this happened in the southen hemisphere, i made a sad attempt at humor. if i could have figured out how to do it (quickly), i would have had the name upside down, but I really had to get a bit of work done today!

Anyone remember the Simpsons episode where they went to Australia and had the modified toilets that would swirl the "right" way when flushed? :lol:

Karma, man!

Seriously, there are cyclones in Australia. The (very) infamous Cyclone Tracy comes to mind. Surely you've heard about her?
