Tropical Cyclone Hamish

[DanTheMan]

I know many of you will disagree with me, but this is a beautiful sight, mother nature at its best!

Hopefully all our Cairns/FNQ members stay safe (and other non-members aswell obviously)
I'm hoping it comes down here!

hope it travels further down the coast line

If this thing hits us over the weekend in Cairns, we are going extreme tyre tubing down the river

 

[DanTheMan]

Would be great wouldn't it RBB!
Havn't had one in so long down here I think it's our turn.

AGREE Dan ..it would be good ....and no we are not being sadistic but a good storm cleans out the creeks and rivers etc ...and we need a good flush out down here

All over the place really, but most recently, Auckland. Where abouts in Auckland did you live? I was in Browns Bay on the North Shore.

I never saw one there either (obviously, I was only there 17 years:lol but my parents were lucky enough to go through Cyclone... Bowler I think it was?

 

[DanTheMan]

Oh btw, everyone up north has to get pics for us!

Purely for selfish reasons, and I hope the people up north get through ok, but...... it'd be a good start to winter like 2001. Feel bad saying that...

My first proper cyclone since I moved here!

I'm really really excited, it's fantastic.

I'd say it'll hit down near Mackay though...

 

[DanTheMan]

It's going to come closer, but he's getting worse! Currently a cat 3, they're now predicting it will reach cat 4.
If it doesn't come any closer than Gladstone like they think it might, I'm going for a drive. I reckon its going to make it's way down here though

 

[ReptilianGuy]

wow, wish i were there to see this one hit...

 

[redbellybite]

yaaaaaaaaaa hoooo I hope it travels that bit further down Dan looks like an interesting week ahead .he is a BIG BOY
