A few showers starting to come through now, about 7mm so far tonight. I read a bit on FB tonight about Narelle and most of it is ridiculous. On your question Scott, maybe Cyclone Monica in 2006. I worked in Port Douglas at the time and it really gave us a scare. Edited by user Wednesday, 18 March 2026 11:25:33 PM(UTC)

Of course it’s looking good Bunyip, it’s been geoengineered apparently 🤣 33mm of gentle rain over night Edited by user Thursday, 19 March 2026 8:57:49 AM(UTC)

Tropical Tidbits image from 8 MAR for today shows the GFS model did fairly well with this cyclone. At that time it had it moving SE from that position though towards the graveyard.  Edit: I must be getting old, did a bit of research and it was Cyclone Ingrid in MAR 2005 which scared us in Port Douglas. It stuck Qld, NT and WA as a severe cyclone.

Quiet at Bunnings, blustery and buffeting at Jonsson's. And a wild drive up the Range in heavy rain, cloud, leaves and twigs everywhere, and the roadworks. Is it windy down there now? Screenshots of Narelle from ZoomEarth. A thing of beauty, but I'm glad I'm not under it.

2100hrs: Not much wind in White Rock 28, just a bit breezy here at the moment. Incredibly with a Cat5 cyclone 200nm north of Cairns we've had 7mm of rain so far today. Another image of Narelle from BOM at 1940hrs.

I'm sure you will start seeing some squally rainbands overnight SM..might create quite a mess in the NT with all the flooding already happening over there.. Its not a huge system but its sure starting to look mean and very organised and yeah 28, nature is amazing isnt it.....I wonder is she will undergo a eyewall replacement before landfall that may take some sting out... Hate to say it but I'm so glad its up there and not down here....certainly wouldnt want to go through the eye of that sucker.. Edit......computer models huh..you sure wouldnt want to bet your life on them !  Edited by user Thursday, 19 March 2026 10:02:38 PM(UTC)
