it was bound to eventually happen..

latest forecast prediction..

and latest satellite image..


So looks like it will be hitting the coast as a cat 1 cyclone, these things are so unpredictable!

Just been to the shops, shelves weren't cleared but was absolutely packed. Not sure if it was because of the cyclone or just because its a saturday, either way i'm glad to be outta there lol

The heat at the moment is unbearable, 38 C and humid.. its hard to believe a cyclone will hit tomorrow!

And to answer an earlier question, we live less than a kilometer from the coast but theres a good 2m drop when you get to the beach, so I cant imagine the predicted higher than normal tides will go above that?

Oh... that looks bad... I hope your okay and get through this without anything bad...
I saw it in the 5pm news like just 20minutes ago... apparently there are 2 cyclones hitting Australia...
Where you are and in North Queensland...
The Western Australian one looks BIG!

Yikes! Stay safe Candice! I'll be thinking about you. This weather is just plain crazy lately. Urgh

[Sadie G]

Candice, just wondering how you are!

[dogworld93]

Oh, this is awful! How are you Candice? We are all thinking of you!

[daschoundsrule]

Candice, Just wanted to let you know we are all thinking about you. Stay safe and make sure you let us know you are ok.

I saw that Candice posted on FB yesterday, nothing weather related, so I'm going to assume she's okay.

Candice, How is everything going? I hope you are safe.

all good here

Would you believe the cyclone both fizzled out completely and changed direction, i think the very south west corner of WA might have got rain? we had another hot & humid day on Sunday with clear skies

The weather Bureau was still saying Sunday morning that it was gonna directly hit Perth & Sunday's Paper had "brace for cyclone Bianca" all over the front page.. so we were all waiting for something and it didn't happen lol

It was a little disappointing to not even get rain, my lawn is dying!

[RubyJeansMom]

Glad to hear all is well.

How funny, from battening down the hatches to no rain at all, your poor lawn.

[Madi P]

So glad you are safe and didnt take a hit! All that for nothin sorry about your grass

[Oliver & Henry's Mum]

Grass can grow again. I'm glad you and many others are safe.

[macy_moo]

Yeh it was really hyped up by the media, and all these cyclone warnings & information packs were circulating at work.

I guess they want to prepare you for the worst, was still a little disappointing to have nothing at all!

Anyway I went out and bought fertilizer for my lawn, going to have to start hand watering. We are on strict water restrictions so can only use sprinklers twice a week, which in this heat does nothing at all

Oh, my, I read your last post first, Candice, and I thought to myself, "She's stocking up on LAWN CARE PRODUCTS and a HURRICANE is coming?!" LOL! I'm delighted that your cyclone fizzled. We don't need anymore disaster areas in the world right now.

Just saw this as well.. its in northern QLD.



And we thought it was bad getting hit by a cat 1 cyclone, this one has forecast 220km/hr winds in the centre

i think Louise is more south, so dont think she's affected??

Poor QLD though, they cant seem to catch a break lately! And its the 3rd cyclone to hit Aus within the past week!

[snifferspommom]

Glad you are safe, Candice. Queensland seems to be getting hit with awful weather like Northeast USA is getting hit with snow!!
