You must be a bit nervous, Cliff, after the last one ....
It couldn't be strong enough to blow away that big lathe though Cliff.
According to the Sunday Mail Yesterday, this rain system "has the potential" to fill all of SE QLD's dams. I hope to hell it does!
It is gone.... not rain. no wind, nothing.
I was working on Sth Molle Island years ago when Cyclone Kerry circled us 3 times from memory. I left and went to Clownsville only to get hit by another one. I copped 10 weeks solid rain that year - 1978?
1 March 1979 – Category 1 Cyclone
Kerry crossed the coast at Proserpine, 80 km to the
north.
There was another Cyclone called Kerry in Jan 2005, it went much further south & didn't cross the coast.
That's impressive! The last time I circled South Molle island I needed a map!Quote:

3. It caused my curtains to rot.
I also note that they have retired the name - why do they do that?
The only member of my family to be born in a hospital, I was born at the Cairns Base during the strongest cyclone recorded to that time .......... and I'm still 'turning'.:whistling2:
soth
90kms was the radius of the eye, it was 180Kms across the eye.Quote:

The list cycles over about every 10 years.
The reason that there was another cyclone Kerry in 2005 it that it formed outside of Australian waters & was named by another country.
Was that 20 January, 1930?Quote:

6 deaths due to flooding. Huge stock losses.

I go to the BOM site every morning & often several times a day if there is a significant event happening.
I subtracted 77 from 2007 & did a search on the BOM site for cyclones in 1930. :wink:
