On cyclone warning..

[riddellcomp]

Well we thought we had actually escaped this cyclone as it headed out to sea but now its turned and is heading almost straight for us (Broome). Its currently a category 3 but has been a category 5 and is expected to intensify back to a cat 5 as it gets near the coast. Thats wind gusts to 280 kmph.

Hopefully it will turn a bit further south and we will only get the edge of it. The last time we had a cyclone hit in April 2000 we had no power for almost 5 days and lots of mess to clean up around the town.

oops...Here it is here.

That's because you're a pu$$y.

When I was in Okinawa we used to have to put on our helmets and flack jackets and brave the weather. Then again, it was usually because we were being hazed. They called it Typhoon watch, and all the new Boots had to do it. When it got real rough everyone would have to go out to real in the boots before they got carried off by a gust.

But the most interesting thing…the small stores and shacks in town never showed any wear. Hours after the storm passed, you would see the shop owners sweeping in front of their store open for business. Those people were hardcore!

[Escape_Driver]

Did any one else hear about that guy who was going to strap himself to a pole and try and ride out a Hurricane... His big statement was that a 200MPH wind couldn't kill you... No but anything in that wind could !!!

[riddellcomp]

hey YA-KNOW,

Take your argument on over to your own thread and leave it out of mine.

Cleetus,

You would know how it goes then living in the gulf region.

I think its not so much the wind that bothers me but not having power for 4 to 5 days afterwards is the biggest pain. Its still hot and humid and you have no fans or aircon. This year I got myself a generator at a garage sale. It will run a few lights and a fan to keep on our youngest child.

Heres the latest taken at 1am this morning. The next update is in one hour.

Yeah Ridell,
We have one of our own over our side of the continent. I don't think as severve but more spread out ..full of huge rains I know that...Cairns is cut off from floods and rockslides and many more coastal regions.. We are a little inland so all we are getting is strong winds and heaps of rain..oh and its bloody cold wind to which is weird for a cyclone.....

Mayet,

There is another one out near Cocos and Chrstmas Island Cyclone Oscar but itsheading West away from anyone. I had heard about all the rain over that way as my dad lives in Kuranda. He cant get down to Cairns as the range is cut off.

Ya Know I was warned by a few people on this forum you were a to$$er and it looks like they were right. What they didnt say was that you are only 11 years old.

[FatalException0E]

Man, I was thinking about moving to Australia some day. If its pummeled by cyclones like this, forget it!

[riddellcomp]

Well at 8.30pm the good news is it has dropped from a cat 5 to a cat 2. The bad news is its changed direction twice today so although isnt going to hit us direct is going to come very very close. We are currently on yellow alert so no work tomorrow as everything has to stay closed. Ive cleaned up our yard and tied up the bins and the kids swing set. Hopefully they wont shut the power station down like they did last time.

[corturbra]

Damn man

Keep your head down. My thoughts are with you.

Why, is your thread off limits to me...? :butt:

Because the way things are going, I am having much more fun arguing with you... :p

So back to the program, I was just lying on the couch waiting for the 10 o'clock update and the power went out. At first I thought perhaps Western Power decided to turn off the power but didn't bother telling us, but I couldn't see why they would do it so soon as the wind is only gusting to about 39knts at the moment. It turns out a tree knocked down a line and it was fixed within half an hour or so.
We're expecting winds gusting to about 85knts overnight though so we could lose power again.

I wasn't arguing with Cleetus. He likes it when I give him a hard time. He is just playing hard to get... :eek2:

You on the other hand have a problem with me that stems deeper than any Cyclone in your life. Pull up a coach and lets talk this out.

You say that you were "warned" by others about me being a tosser, what's that? A masturebator? I guess then I should congratulate you for being the only person in creation that has never touched himself. That's great...the reality is that I feel sorry for you. Your inferiority complex emanates in every word you type...this leads me to believe you too are a tosser, you just haven't accepted the fact that it is natural for us all...you still feel dirty... :eek2:

I am always here if you ever want to talk... :thumbs2:

[riddellcomp]

You say that you were "warned" by others about me being a tosser, what's that? A masturebator? :thumbs2:Yes it is......See your worried about the fact that other people on this forum may have talked about you behind your back and warned me about you.http://forums.windrivers.com/images/smilies/thumbs.gif

I know you were only joking around with Cleetus, Come off it you have over 5000 posts. If you were a real tosser as such then I doubt that you would have survived this long without a mod throwing you out the door.
You just dont know how to take Aussie sarcasm.http://forums.windrivers.com/images/smilies/boring.gif

And while Im on this couch go and get me a cold drink.http://forums.windrivers.com/images/smilies/bigok.gif

Now your just getting down right boreing... :sad:

Noone here to piss off...I guess I will move on now.
