HAHA. Just throw them out dont bring any dirty washing back to Broome. Our washing machine officialy just broke lol. Have a good night you guys must be buggered.

This was a Small snippet of the early stages of LUA's impact on Pardoo Station. We are still obviously going back through 10 hours of footage, so we will be releasing small snippets at a time

see you tomorrow popeye.

i am sure it will be amazing to watch, and am sure one of the tv channels will want to buy your story.

Maybe Edit out the " Pants Soiling " footage . MSM ain't ready for that S@$* ..........LOL

Is the little dot on the sat picture to the right of this screen still the eye. Sorry I dont know how to post it.

We tried to get SES personnel to marble bar and nullagine late on Friday. Couldn't get them in due to cloud cover and the nullagine strip being mostly covered in water.... they ended up in Newman with the plans to drive up. They should have tried to get their earlier.

Been in the Jiggalong cop shop before (near Newman, in the current path of Lua), seemed sturdy enough to take a cat 1, probably a 2. Being government in a cyclone prone region, I would imagine the cop shops etc would be built to take something, but maybe not a 4 or 5.

yes the soiled pants probable won't go down well on tv lol

Sorry , TG .

That wasn't aimed at you ..... hehehehhe

Trav , needs to realise that you haven't experienced life until " it " involuntarily happens .....

Anyhow "whiteout footage good , brown not so " .

wow great little snippet of footage.. can't wait to see some more.

It looks like it hey but I dont think it is. I checked a few other loops and nothing showed up.

lol poor trav

Thanks it caught my eye when i was having a chuckle at the washing machine. By the way thanks for the entertainment today well done.

what cat is cyclone lua now that it is over land

MMMM should be nice day tommorow. Light winds, calm seas, take the kids down the beach for a swim, fly the kite. Ahhh back to normality lol.

Next update not til midnight

This is a thought coming from the US in regard to what Jason and the team experienced....
" it was......probably formative stages of a concentric eyewall. It's rather common in strong cyclones, there are many cases where a very distinctive moat shows in radar/MW imagery, where wind/rain conditions are in a relative minimum close to the eyewall whereas a bit farther out you can experience a secondary maxima. This secondary maxima enhanced convection created a subsidence area around it, which is what was probably experienced......"

Its still a cat 2 expected to be a cat 1 tomorrow @ 5am

Newman is on Red. anyone know the last time that occurred? would have been some time ago I imagine.

Hopefully all at jiggalong and newman are ok. Cyclones at night seem worse imho. It will be interesting to see the next track map. Looking forward to hearing obs and of course seeing more footage throughout the day.

I dunno, but I think if you don't get your footage sold and into tonights news/weather story's it will be all old hat.

There is quite a few snippets of Lua footage by some stations on TV now while its the hot topic but after tonight - commercial worth would be dubious at best

Get it out there quick lads!
