Cyclone Monica and Old Fart

[moose]

For those who want to know how close the cyclone is to Old Fart you can check this link http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDE00902.loop.shtml and this one as it gets closer to Darwin http://mirror.bom.gov.au/products/IDR632.loop.shtml

Monica's turned inland and is going to thrash herself to death to our souh.

We'll still get wild weather from her, but not the full-on hit of a cyclone.

even so, stay safe until monica blows









































over.
:D

[wyndhy]

my most sincere apologies but someone had to do it. :p

[Oldfart]

No apologies needed, some things just need to be said.

[Oldfart]

Monica's now just a tropical depression abot 10 miles from here, 50mph winds and some rain.

She could have been so much worse.

my most sincere apologies but someone had to do it. :p
No doubt! I kept thinking it was an age gap story. :)

Good to see it fizzed out OF

[Oldfart]

She's not fizzed yet.

There is still a chance she'll do a Glenn Close and beat the shit out of Dampier and Kununurra.

Looks like from the latest loop that she's almost completely over land now...the good news - getting a cyclone off the water removes the energy source, the bad news - looks like she picked up enough energy before landfall to still throw a major hissy fit...

[Oldfart]

When the atmosphere gets hissy, it's not fun.

Our topography doesn't lend itself to tornados as well as mid-America does.

We trust that she was the dying gasp of our monsoon season. Bring on the dry!!

Just as an aside, had I not been rostered for work, I would have tried to get together a cyclone party at a local restaurant, "Lewinsky's".

Our topography doesn't lend itself to tornados as well as mid-America does.

That's what we always thought about our somewhat hilly terrain...the downside is that when a storm does generate sufficient energy to create a funnel cloud, it tends to be a really big bad bully, kicking the everlovin shit out of everything it touches...

[Oldfart]

Bad cloud, bad cloud.

There, did that work?

Sorry, clouded judgement there.

[Casperr]

Sorry, clouded judgement there.
You really haven't got the foggiest idea have you?

[Oldfart]

No, I've been brain-storming.

[scotzoidman]

The fact that you are able to rain down on us with such weather-beaten puns says to me that the worst must be over, & you can joke about it now...

[Oldfart]

Hail scotzoidman. It's good to see you still sprinkling comments through the thread.
