I’d like to, but I think as soon as my name was mentioned, I’d be running for my life [bigsad] :eek2:

I was in Tully Heads, post the 2011 blow. There was three generations of a dark family, taking photos of each other. I offered to take a picture of the family, in their entirety. They gratefully accepted and said all the damage was down to them, they were from New Guinea and their name was Yasi. [biggrin]
Just got the power back on, after 26 hours. Sick of the sound of a generator, but glad we have it.
Yes, another (bigger) cyclone supposedly coming over us next Sunday-ish. The source for this seems to be windy.com, according to everyone I talk to. Proof of the accuracy is in the pudding.
Thanks Trout. After looking at windy.com I went over to the BOM for some validation and saw the information on the tropical low. So there will be some activity - but what will really come out of it?
Have already joked with my brother in southern NSW that my family might be moving in[bigsmile1]
He countered that he would move his caravan to Alice for us, but that is as far as we should come[bigsad]
Oz cyclone chasers also had a projected track up yesterday that put a cat 4 cyclone straight across nightcliff next sunday but I see today its not there.
Windy.com has 2 models , 1 puts the low north of the tiwi's next Thursday and then late Saturday it heads straight south and into Darwin early am sunday , the other model has it track east into the gulf and head for south of Weipa.
We should know more by Wednesday.
