I am still around matey...have not been blown away to the "happy hunting grounds" yet. The worse is over for where I am, but it has been raining heavily and dry rivers and creeks are running again....it won't be long before the roads are closed....  Here is the Link to the Met.Bureau . If you draw a line from where "Marble Bar" is to the left horizontaly and then another line vertically from Port Hedland, where it meets, there is where I am located. |

Thats one of those places "you CAN'T get to from here" isn't it? Looks like at least a six pack drive from anywhere!

Right now, it is one of those places where those who are out cannot get in and those who are in cannot get out....thanks to few raging creeks where normally they are as dry as a bone. Phones are down as well...thank God I am not on a landline connection or I will not be able to chat with you all...  |

How I wish RG......  Anyway, Clare is now a well and truly spent force and is no longer classified as a cyclone. Areas that have been "graced" by her have commenced cleaning/restoration work. One gone,but there will be others ahead, the Met. Bureau predicted 5 cyclones with 3 crossings this year.....but they have never been right before.... [:p] |

All need in a case of a cyclone is food, water, internet connection oh yah and the coins.

Just curious. Out here in the U.S. West, Cyclone means the same as Tornado. I'm guessing your Cyclone would be a Hurricane, right?

I see it as a hell of a lot of rain and wind?

Yes, cyclones and hurricanes are the same...starts out at sea as a depression and then gains momentum and intensity as it travels landwards. |
