They do, but depends on what speed the cyclone is moving. Since this cyclone is moving pretty fast (35km/h), it doesn't spend enough time in one place to intensify...so really it loses alot of its power the faster it goes.


I remember when I lived up in the Pilbara for 14 years (in good ole Wickham) we had one that sit off the coast for a day or so moving at about 5 km/h and built from a Cat 3 to a Cat 5, then swung into the coast. Good times.....lol
