Firstly, I'd like to give our heartfelt thoughts from Australians to those affected by the superstorm. We too understand the effect of such storms, particularly with cyclone Yasi last year, and cyclone Tracy in 1974.
Here is an interesting infographic comparing some important recent cyclones.

Ah, been there done that...I, too, have been through hurricanes---my first was, oddly enough, right up there near where this one hit (but not near as intense), but the rest have been here in Florida (as intense, but much narrower in range).
Good luck with cleanup and recovery, you guys up there...and always remember, never climb up a ladder with a chainsaw while cutting up tree limbs...
