Cyclone's and hurricane's are the same ? just rotate in different directions, still buggers at any rate
Good luck
Hi Bob,
Yep, Cyclone = Hurricane, just spins the other way. Latest forecast has it crossing the coast about 50-75 miles north of us, but now expected to be a category 3. After crossing it will track our way & pass inland / over us, still as a cat 1.
Our airport is only 2.5 miles from the coast and my aircraft only weighs 321kg / 706 lbs empty. I have been & put some extra tie-downs on but that is all I can do. Its very frustrating since I have been wanting to build a hangar for about 4 years now but the local government & airport management seem to forget that airports are meant for planes and keep making it harder & harder to do anything.
