Thread: possible cyclone for darwin at xmas

gotta love the comments in the NT news,read from bottom up

I'll just tie my caravan 2 the big milkwood it's under along with another tree that's not large enough 2 crush us to death if it falls over & sit out any cyclones like we did in Cyclone Tracy. Bloody wonderful trees those milkwoods. Saved out lives. Then some bastard cut it down during the 1980's 2 make way 4 flats that were never built.

Whats safe is to disassociate cylcones from the nanny pretenders of overpaid public servants. If the real thing arrives theres two main threats to the public - 1. the environment 2. public servants and officials . Your best bet is pack tucker, stockpile fuel, torches and wear a helmet. Oh and dont forget the beer, kick back and enjoy the storm.

Peter Davies, Why panic people into leaving town, It's not even a cyclone yet. Bet U haven’t been in one.

We come to Darwin every year , to get away from the crazy family Xmas bash down sth here in Perth, and spend 6 days kicking back on the balcony at the wharf precinct. Every year I hope for a kicka$$ storm to watch with the missus. Looks like we will get our monies worth this year. Should I pack my mag light torch?

Be prepared and dont panic folks we can deal with this.

Sat out cyclone Max in the eighties in a patrol boat securely fastened to a buoy in the bay, saw the effects of Tracy not long after she hit, including the patrol boat Arrow, sunk at the wharf after breaking free of her moorings and forced under the wharf, with many injuries and loss of life. Sorry, but I find it difficult to smile about a cyclone in the top end. [ also had to leave Dampier in a hurry to escape 2 cyclones , miles apart but causing wild weather, 15 metre swells, we had to steer by main engines coming down the swell to stop broaching, can laugh about it now, but then...] Bob
