There is convection building up all over the west at the moment

Yeah... I've been watching that system for days....

Really unusual the way it tracked down the coast so far south... rather than making landfall or dissapating out to sea...

In fact BOM is forecasting it to track further south before turning and making landfall... over Perth....

Albeit.. downgraded to a Cat 1...

Last one was 1978, Alby. Did almost the same thing.

Sort of funny the last few weeks the local newspapers have been scaremongering with pictures of how Bunbury and suburbs could be flooded under heavy rain.
We could just find out out how accurate they were now.

How you going out there Nash? Just saw some nasty pictures of many houses with a lot of damage out your way..

Hey Nash,

You survive that?

I just spoke to my brother who was driving past your place when it hit, he said his Pajero got push to the wrong side of the road with the initial gust, and the commodore behind him was pushed even further.

Then he told me about all the trees which had been blown over the highway.

In Bassandean I got 18mm, but very little wind.

Cheers

been in Northam today for my grandmothers 80th.. biggest dust storm i have ever seen sky went red then was almost like midnight

cause then the power went out and it was dark inside too and verry hot 40 + people inside a house gets hot and sticky verry quickly without the ac, though after the front passed and the rain eased we opened up the house and even sat outside which was nice

the aftermath was quite amazing too town hall among others seems to have lost its roof lots of trees blown over on the hwy between northam and clackline but after that was smooth driving
sure has been an intersting day
Cheers

Jaymie and Axle - are you busy tying all your stuff down - or is it still like that from last time .

we were selling our figgs from home yesterday when it hit
not long after people stoped coming in we couldn't work out why we were not geting
any one coming in went to check the signs and found them about 500m from where we had put them smashed to bits
rebuilt them the smorning and selling again untill the next one hits today
(but will be getting them in early this time)

thanks VB there is a bit of work to be done this morning, just had to run into town to tidy up the work nursery

So now it's WA's turn! Hope everyone stays safe.
We are expecting 40+ over the next few days.....well at least it will help dry up some of the water

While Cyclone Anthony migth make landfall around Townsville.. it's not an overly large/wide cyclone... and is expected to dissapate quickly...

Of much greater concern.... is a likely major cyclone formation from a tropical depression currently situated near Fiji...

Watch this one.. it could be a nasty one...

that'll be this one

I was saying to Faye just after the big floods over there that I hope people weren't putting too much effort into cleaning up, with the next couple of months predicted to be very wet over that way..

That cyclone doesn;t look very nice...

Yep, that's the one Jaymie... gone full cyclone since I last looked a day ago...

Big, ugly ... and very nasty.... super cyclone...
