Cyclone Monica and Old Fart
 

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

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

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

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

She could have been so much worse.

No doubt! I kept thinking it was an age gap story. :)

Good to see it fizzed out OF

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...

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".

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...

Bad cloud, bad cloud.

There, did that work?

Sorry, clouded judgement there.

You really haven't got the foggiest idea have you?

No, I've been brain-storming.
