Thread: cyclone

Just spoke to our daughter in Gapuwiyak and she said it is starting to get blowy,



Here is a quote from BOM on Cyclone Lam

"Intensity: category 4, sustained winds near the centre of 165 kilometres per hour with wind gusts to 230 kilometres per hour.
Location: within 20 kilometres of 11.9 degrees South, 135.5 degrees East , 20 kilometres north northwest of Galiwinku and 145 kilometres west northwest of Nhulunbuy .
Movement: southwest at 6 kilometres per hour ."

Well, now they are saying: A very destructive central core, spanning less than 100 kilometres, would generate gusts up to 295 kilometres an hour, the Bureau of Meteorology warned.

That it is not a breeze

Just wonder how much are going to move at the top the 2 or 3 tallest buildings in the Gold Coast with strong winds. I know that it is not going to blow that strong there but still will be and interesting experience.

I don't know what you are on about, Bob. I don't buy newspapers nor do I watch the news - and I don't watch free to air TV nor anything that hasn't been recorded. I had no idea there was a cyclone (or 2?) approaching Oz.

The first I heard of it was when I saw Eevo's post.

You have to give to them. Just been reported those remaining in St Lawrence have taken refuge in the runamuck bar. Be a good night tonight. Bob

i dont know what the big deal is.
the whole issue will blow over soon enough

Ron, I apologise. An overreaction on my part. I have put up with sarcastic trolls on this forum for a while, over the years, and with my daughter in Gayndah, in the path of this monster, well,..., sorry mate. Please accept my apology. Bob

Chucaro, I think you will find Erich is discussing TC Lam off the NT and you are talking about TC Marcia off Qld.

Both are likely to be not a lot of fun...winds anywhere near those speeds are going to break things.

Erich hope your daughter and friends stay safe.... same goes for everyone in either storm...
