Yeah I was thinking of doing the same. Pro kayaking in the cyclone. lol. So if you see an old rusty Hilux bogged to the eyeballs on some flooded back road it will probably be me so follow me for some entertaining viewing aswell. lol.

Nahh Will be interesting to see Cable Beach webcam tommorrow around the high tide especially into Friday aswell. Today was the biggest for a few years out there and its all monsoonal surf. As this Low is still only a low and 2000kms away.

The Heavens decided to open up in South Hedland. Absolutely belting down at the moment, heavy steady rain with the wind factor. Installed new security cameras around the house and enjoying seeing the rain in the comfort of the lounge room. Awesome! Should stick around for a while by the looks of that radar.

Quietened down a bit here in South, but checking the rain band heading from the north looks to have some heavy showers in it with a few doses of lightning for good measure. Hoping this sticks around for a couple of days. The place is looking tops at the moment, nice and green, and what's surprised me is the flies and mozzies have stayed away.

How good is this rain, continuous bands of light to medium showers, going to be a nice quiet weekend of kicking back watching the weather. How you going in Karratha and Broome ? any good rains to report ?

Been raining all night in Broome. Looks set to continue aswell. 20.6mm and climbing steadily. I'm hoping that Iggy just keeps pulsating nice rainbands off him for the next 4 days. Cannot believe up the peninsula here at Cygnet Bay, Cape Leveque and Lombadina all have had near or over 400mm from this event. MAD.

From a non event in December to what we are experiencing now, how quickly it all turns around. Stormchaser careful mate, you know the roads between Hedland and Karratha flood fast, so many floodways along the way, your weekend could turn into a Week lol.

How insane is this rainfall. Along the entire NW coast and not just sporadic thunderstorms just nice steady constant rain along the entire coast. 50mm and climbing here in Broome.

I have never seen the North West radar look as good as it does at the moment and early this morning. Now listening to the sounds of a few lightning strikes around the place. Absolute bliss. Time to get the 80 series out and give her a nature bath.

Yeah swell has been awesome here too Stormchaserjr. Rain has eased back today to a few showers passing through. By the looks of the forecasts it might have a little bit more rain here tommorrow and then it will fine up for the foreseeable futre. As for cyclones I think it may be Late Feb for the next round. Unless a randon surprise sneaks up on us. Which is to be expected at this time of year.
