Obviously, since pretty much any animal on that Continent/Country/Island can kill you.

Anyway yeah, wishes of safety and good luck to Queensland.

Flooding and a cyclone.
Next it will be the plauge of locust.
Then Mars will crashland on them.
We already did the locust plague. Think it's still going, actually. That and we had bad bushfires recently.

I'm surprised that Yahtzee has be able to survive this long.
Remind me to never go to Austrailia without proper weaponry.
Ausie wildlife isn't all bad :p we also have Koala's which are adorable little drug addicts (they spend 20 hrs a day sleping because their staple diet makes them high), Flying Foxes which are also adorable and Fairy Penguins which i think speak for themselves.

Queensland (and other states) also have some of the most amazingly beautiful places in the world, aka Daintree Rainforest, Great Barrier Reef, Whitsundays, So it's a definite worthy trade off. :)

This. Oh, and I'd say best wishes to every aussie, because they have to deal with:

all of those things in that helpful graph. Glad I'm in North Carolina, where the only thing I have to deal with is the occasional tornado.
Yeah, I live in Southern England.... the most dangerous weather we get is rain persistent enough to cause depression....

As others have stated, Brisbane is a long way from the cyclone. Definitely no need for anyone to be worrying about yahtzee =D

Luckily there have been no reported deaths so far, I've seen on the news there has been a fair bit of devastation to so smaller communities in North Queensland though.

Helpful graph neglected to mention the whitetail spider. While not as dangerous as a funnelweb theyre extremely hard to kill and can and will cram themselves into any nook or cranny as long as its dry and dark. Thier poison doesnt just kill either, it more usually causes grotesque swelling in about the 2 square feet of skin around the bite. Also requires plastic surgery to fix.

Once one of theese got into a gift package destined for Afghanistan and the soldiers there got a bigger taste of home than what they had hoped for.

Its Cairns thats being hit the worst! I'm so lucky being tucked away in New Zealand. Seriously Australia is being hit so hard with natural disasters and all Christchurch (nz) got is a 7.1 earthquake. Is that all you got mother nature?
Interestingly enough, my aunt (who was born here in the UK) emigrated to Auckland some years ago and now lives in Christchurch. She's a nurse at a mental clinic, and she was actually there in the middle of the earthquake. Fortunately she and her family were fine, but she had to help get all the patients out and to safety in case of aftershocks and such...

Anyway, regarding the OP, I give my sympathies and whatnot to all of Australia, and all of Queensland, not just Yahtzee, but of course I give them to Yahtzee as well. However, I'm just curious as to why people feel the need to post threads like this when at the end of the day, Yahtzee is a man. A late-twenties English man with a very fast voice and a sarcastic sense of humour. Nothing more. Fine, we all agree he's awesome, but does he really need fanboys and stalker-ish actions like this? Really? I like the guy, but he's a minor internet celebrity, not the Australian Prime Minister. Seriously, people...
I would like to point out even if he was the Australian Prime Minister, he would still just be some guy.
Agreed, you do make a fair point there :D.

New South Wales' new tourism slogan should be 'Come to NSW, we have mild weather here'. Seriously, the worst we get is killer hail very occasionally.

It's a pretty impressive cyclone though... 500km across, with windspeeds up to 320km/hr (that's 310 miles and 200mph for you Americans). Hooray for category 5 storms, am I right?

At the risk of saying what's been said 500 times already, Yahtzee will be fine.

He's in Brisbane. And while that was hit with flooding, this Cyclone is much further north. My Aunt informs me that my Grandmother (Who lives in Noosa on the sunshine coast - north of Brisbane) is perfectly fine.

Brisbane won't even notice this.

Cairns however...

Well, if this is the worst cyclone ever to hit Australia, let me just point out that I used to live in Darwin.

As such, I'm quite familiar with the history surrounding Cyclone Tracy.

Let me tell you, there was nothing left of Darwin after Cyclone tracy had passed through.
There's all of maybe 3 or 4 buildings that survived it in any shape or form.

If this is worse, I really fear for anything in the path of this cyclone.

Actually Cairns got off lucky. It's Innisvale and Mission Beach that got the worst. They got the eye.

Regardless, no one lost their life so far. It actually hit last night it's been over for a few hours now.

More tragic is the death in Afganistan of 22-year-old Corporal Atkinson. He was engaged to be married.

Just makin' sure, cyclones = hurricanes, right?

If so, I totally understand you Aussies' pain. We get that shit down here as well.
Actually a cyclone is the opposite of a hurricane. Due to the rotation being opposite as we're in the southern hemisphere.

Why just Yahtzee? All of Queensland deserves our wishes.

It's not pronounced exactly like Yahtzee. Yasi...say it with me, Yar-sea...YAR-SEA.
How/why is there a silent r in this word?

I'd never pronounce it YAR-SEA if we were going for phonetics. Not to mention it sounds like a pirate hooker.
There just is and that is how it's pronuced.



After researching it on my own... It's not YAR-SEA

It Ja:Si

BAMF.

Not sure if he is in Queensland, but cyclone Yasi has just hit (oddly enough, the word is pronounced similarly to Yahtzee), and is apparently the most dangerous cyclone to hit Australia ever.
Yahtzee is in Brisbane, which is in Queensland but not near the affected area. Queensland's pretty goddamn big, he might have a bit of extra breeze through his moustache but that'd be about the extent of it as far as he's concerned, I'm sure he'll barely look up from his Minecraft cave. I'd be more worried about people living in the affected towns.
