Cyclone Glenda

[Supa]

Well here we go again another huge cyclone going to hit the north west coast. Scary thing this time is WE are on cyclone watch looking at all the weather channels & BOM site news etc we should be safe & only get the rain bearing depression afterwards but even then we will get strong winds & lots of rain. The wind is starting to pick up hmmmm will be an interesting few days me thinks :O

[yomamma]

Lets hope you only get the rain you need and nothing else. I've been watching on the weather channel, but I know cyclones in the west are so unpredictable. Remember the one years ago that down to Perth, I was still living there then. Our thoughts are with you Supa:waves: :waves: :waves:

[Denise]

Keep safe Tina yes I hope you get the rain you need but no wind if thats possible. I think they are expecting it to cross Exmouth this arvo or tonight hopefully it will change course at the last minute.:D

[Barbara]

Gosh - where are they all coming from????

Lets hope it does change course & you do only get the rain - keep safe.

edited to say - just heard about it on the radio news. Category 4 - very nasty. Please take care

[Telori]

Good luck Supa,

We were lucky over here cyclone Larry hit further up, but we were still on cyclone watch.

I hope it drops in category before it gets to you.

Never had to live through a Cyclone, thank goodness. It must be terrifying for you who have. My thoughts and prayers go out to you, that you and your families are safe.

[Leigh]

Heard this on the news this morning and wondered where you were in relation.

Please stay safe, I hope it is not as bad as they are predicting. Just a bit of rain is all you want.

[Supa]

yeah we are only on a watch it should hit land & slow down before getting near us. Though it has been soooo windy today & warm which always happens when a cyclone is about If anyone is interested you can see the cyclone tracking here (http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDW60285.shtml) its still a LOOOONG way from us we are down near Kalbarri at the bottom of the screen (our town doesnt actually show on the map, too small!!!)

[Barbara]

Thanks for the link Tina - it looks pretty nasty. I hope it calms down.

My SIL (one of the nice ones :D ) used to live in Pannawanica - I'm glad she has moved.

[Patricia]

Lets hope it hits land and then peters out very quickly. Lots of rain would be good for you so lets hope thats about all it ends up being by the time it reaches you Tina :) Take care!

[Supa]

Well this l (http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDW60279.shtml)ink shows what they are expecting it to do & now I am getting nervous! Carnarvon is about 4hrs from us!!!

ETS they have moved us from cyclone watch to cyclone warning!!:help: :faint:

[sjc]

Do hope you all stay safe. It must be so scary. Sending positive vibes your way.

Has Perth ever had a cyclone? Things look really rough up there. My Dad used to work up north and had to come home whenever there was a cyclone.

I watched the news where the poor old reporter got battered around a bit.

[Denise]

Yep Natasha we had cyclone Alby in 1978 I remember as I was in grade 7 primary school. It came all the way down the coast.

[Supa]

Yep Albie was the last one that came down the coast we were living in Geraldton then & I was 5yrs old dont really remember it but remember Mum talking about it she was pregnant with my sister

[nj27au]

It happened a year before I was born. And I wasn't even in Australia back then.

I know we have a few mini-tornado's, but nowhere as what the people up North have to go through every year. I hope everyone stays safe.

[Denise]

Oh Buggar I thought I just sent a link to Cyclone Alby, its not floating around somewhere its not supposed to be is it :blush: LMAO Took me ages to figure out as well . Never mind I just googled Cyclone Alby and came up with some interesting stuff with old photos and everything.:D

[~Jodie~]

Keep Safe Tina :comfort:

Hope you just get the rain that's needed

[Supa]

Well she's gone TG she hit land lastnight & weakened really quickly now its just a tropical low/rain bearing depression. We are going to get LOTS of wind & hopefully good rains. Today its been blowing its a$$ off all day & had a few light showers. The wind is really picking up now & it sounds scary. Hubby has to work again tonight will be interesting night for him.

[Patricia]

Glad you are all safe and sound Supa :):)

[lOvingKWTP]

Good to hear that it has calmed down and that yourself and your family are safe :)

[Luv Angel Musik Babee]

That was lucky it died down quickly for you supa. They seen to die when they hit land don't they? I was watching the local news the other day and with the way the weather and all that technical stuff is that my area in qld should get hit by a really bad cyclone sometime soon. Quite scary as I've never really been through one. We just generally get the rain and winds and round crap weather from them.
