What does it mean when all those pretty colours are swirling?
-
You want to see if from where I'm sitting. See the forecast crossing point ... thats the location my house.
Expecting wind gusts up to 250km /hr. Rainfall of 500 - 600ml over a 48hr period.... That should clean the dust off things.
-
Good luck, can you send about 100mm of rain to VIC?

Cyclone paaaarteeeeeeees! :cheers: :cheers:

We've been tracking it as well and it is now tracking 100% the same as Rosetta so we hope it doesn't turn around like that one did.
Hope you guys down south have bunkered down. Been wet enough up here so god knows what it will be like for you lot down there
Mind you, a few had a good surf yesterday ;D

sure, if I send 400mm, can you ferment 300ml, add yeast, shove it in a stubbie and return to sender :cheers:

We have lived in Dampier for the last 43 1/2 year and I am sure glad that at the moment we are here and not in Hedland.
Though we do get our share cyclones
Hang in there Hedland

Looks like I picked the right week to visit Broome. Got back this time last week. 5 days of beaut weather and great tides.
Looks a bit wet up that way now. Be a shame if Pardo and Sandfire cop a beating again. We came through just before and then after during Xmas 2010.

Before and after pics...??
I wouldn't mind fake grass, never needs mowing, watering, stays green all year round and never dies,
Awesome!! What does that cost?
We wont get any of that weather all the way down here....... currently running empty water tanks, brown grass and a sad looking vegie patch.
Keep the wind though, I'm hoping to replace my patio roof this week. Yes, by choice, would hate to be in the position of having to cause its now blown elsewhere.....

It didn't get done today too wet :(
Costs are approx. $45/sqm for the grass (depends on type) and $45/sqm to have it laid, crushed rock, sand then the grass.

No more cutting mrs d4d's grass then??

Been on Red Alert since 10.00. Wind gusting between 95 - 107 km/hr for most of the day and we're not even close to the worst of it. Tomorrow it'll crank up another notch.
Camper has been given the camouflage look by tree debris.

The Wife is in the dry mess at Wedgefield Camp (Port Headland) with 100 others. It's her 1st Cyclone she is actually getting really exited.
Wedgfield is a mining camp in the industrial area of Port Headland. She is a security officer and since going to Red alert (cyclone imminent) she has had a few people ring up from there rooms. You have a choice of sitting in your rooms with no power, no aircon, usually alone, or heading to the safer dry mess which runs on backup generators.
The phone calls went like this: Remember the whole camp is in lock down with an imminent threat of a cyclone but at current speeds still 24hrs away.
Why is the power out?
How long is the power going to be out?
Is the dry mess open so i can come over and get some food? because i have run out in my room. Reply by security was "no if you come to the dry mess you cannot leave" Well can you deliver me some to my room?
I have a noise complaint! someone is banging on my roof!
Will the Wet Mess (Pub) be open tonight?
I can't get in touch with my supervisor, do you think i will have to go to work tonight?
Darwin Awards?

All done. I don't have to mow it, the missus likes it and my son can now play without a dust bowl, it is a win, win, win ;D

We dodged the bullet with Cyclone Rusty in Hedland, 36 hrs of sustained gale force winds. GG I think your pic has some creative photoshop work .... or it's not related to a cyclone. Sorry but as a rule cyclones don't come across like a storm front like that .... interest pic all the same.
Pardoo station and roadhouse copped a flogging, again. Fortunately no loss of human life. Pardoo station reportedly lost a fair amount of cattle.

it was on numerous news feeds, probably a Getty Images stock photo LOL! Fail by many papers

....Fail by many papers
yep, as the the town was spared, the news agencies in town sent to capture the forecast carnage are lost for stories. Another example I was told whereby a news agency didn't manage to get any footage of roofs being ripped off so therefore took footage of a house under construction with roof sheeting not yet installed then ran a story of a house loosing its roof.
Anyway some actual pics that I'll credit to Geoff Pritchard, a local photographer , yes they are enhanced but at least of of the town and not file footage.
