And now you should have some MUD to play in.


Let us know when the Navarra needs to be recovered.


On the other hand I bet the cabin doesn't leak.

This is the US navy's last predicted pathway



Will run along the coast and give us some rain and one hell of a blowing

this is the local prediction

Name: Daryl
Severity Category: 2
Situation At: 2PM WST Friday 20 January 2006
Warning Area: Broome to Fortescue, extending inland as shown
Watch Area: Fortescue to Exmouth, extending inland as shown
Location: 18.1S 120.5E
Recent Movement: SW at 15 km/h
Remarks: Gales with gusts to 110 kilometres an hour are possible in coastal areas between Broome and Wallal during Friday afternoon extending south to Port Hedland overnight and to Fortescue during Saturday as Daryl moves to the southwest.

Residents along the Pilbara coast are warned of the potential risk of destructive winds on Saturday as the cyclone approaches the coast.

Residents of Port Hedland are specifically warned of the potential of a dangerous storm tide as the cyclone centre nears the coast. Tides are likely to rise significantly above the normal high tide mark with damaging waves and dangerous flooding.

The State Emergency Service advises of the following alerts:
YELLOW ALERT: People in coastal communities between Pardoo and Whim Creek, including Pardoo, Port Hedland, South Hedland and Whim Creek, should commence action in preparation for the cyclone's arrival.
BLUE ALERT: People in remaining coastal communities between Broome and Dampier, including Broome, Bidyadanga, Sandfire, Wallal, Roebourne, Wickham, Point Samson, Karratha and Dampier should start taking precautions.
People in coastal communities between Cape Leveque and Coral Bay and in the inland Pilbara should listen for the next advice.






Closed the shop just after 3pm when a yellow alert was given, may not be able to open back up tomorrow right now, will depend on how long it takes to pass over.

our port is expecting storm surge flooding, but that wont reach into me.

Will drop in now and then while I have the net still to keep you all updated.



got the deck chairs ready so we can have a front row veiwing too, this will be great

Hi BB,
I know you have done it before but a lot of water has passed under the bridge, or should I say a lot of information has been lost on my computer, anyway could you please give me the site address for the US navy weather :?: :?:

Geez, Bugga you have missed it and sent it down here. We had about an 1 1/2" about 15-30. It is torrential rain here at the moment for the last 45 minutes and I would gues about 2"-3" in that time and still coming down hard. Think I may need a boat, have not seen rain like this here since Cyclone Bobby.
