Monica's turned inland and is going to thrash herself to death to our souh.
We'll still get wild weather from her, but not the full-on hit of a cyclone.

No apologies needed, some things just need to be said.

Monica's now just a tropical depression abot 10 miles from here, 50mph winds and some rain.
She could have been so much worse.

No doubt! I kept thinking it was an age gap story.

She's not fizzed yet.
There is still a chance she'll do a Glenn Close and beat the shit out of Dampier and Kununurra.

Looks like from the latest loop that she's almost completely over land now...the good news - getting a cyclone off the water removes the energy source, the bad news - looks like she picked up enough energy before landfall to still throw a major hissy fit...

When the atmosphere gets hissy, it's not fun.
Our topography doesn't lend itself to tornados as well as mid-America does.
We trust that she was the dying gasp of our monsoon season. Bring on the dry!!
Just as an aside, had I not been rostered for work, I would have tried to get together a cyclone party at a local restaurant, "Lewinsky's".

That's what we always thought about our somewhat hilly terrain...the downside is that when a storm does generate sufficient energy to create a funnel cloud, it tends to be a really big bad bully, kicking the everlovin shit out of everything it touches...

Bad cloud, bad cloud.
There, did that work?
Sorry, clouded judgement there.
