Hi Beamgirl, sorry for the delay - easy to get lost in all the posts in the last 24hrs! As for Myrtleford, I'm interested too - my brother is up there for the weekend (well, Bright really). He called last night and told me that they had received an automated phonecall from the SES at about 7pm warn...

Hey guys just wondering if anyone can give me an idea on how much rain/flooding the Myrtleford area is expecting. I have a friend who has an on-site caravan there and she was flooded twice last year and she is obviously concerned this may happen again. She said she was told this morning that the who...

Hey guys, how long do you think this hot wind is going to last for? My iphone (not the most reliable source) said Becoming windy 35 (@ Avalon) it was very windy when i first woke up and was 33.3 by 8.30am. Its now saying its currenlty 38.8. I dont mind the heat but dislike the very hot wind. :D Chee...

Hiya all
Sorry its been a while.
I have moved from Scaryborough (maryborough) QLD and im now back in good old Victoria.
Not as cold as i remembered it, i guess im just loving being back.
Hopefully I will get a chance to get on here more often now.
Cheers
Tanya

Great to hear you are all ok WG
How did your kids cope, alot of people are saying their kids slept right through it, scary stuff.
Hope the area gets back to normal soon, its a shame to lose big old trees but at least no lives were lost.
Take care.

Hi all, Living in Victoria for most of my life and now living in Maryborough-QLD for 5 years i can make some comment on the difference in weather. Thunderstorms - Well i was once told that QLD had spectacular storms, since i have been here we have had a lot of storms but none of them that spectacula...

Maryborough - QLD - BOM obs 07:30am, temp 23.2, Humidity 93%, only 4.4mm of rain since 9 am yesterday. Drizzling rain now, dull and overcast but quite sticky. Not as windy this morning.
1.2mm in the last half an hour.

Very defined eye!! Certaintly a very cool system in the way of science! Cannot believe the wind gusts, stay safe WG and BG if you are in the path too! Is a CAT 3 as expected, still wouldn't rule out the risk for a low end 4 to show before making landfall! Morning all, thanks for your concern Power ...

Hi guys, I have been following WZ forum through out the day also, yeah there are 2 or 3 guys heading that way to try and get some footage. You probably already have this but here is the online radio station for Mackay they are playing music but have live news updates and people ringing in with whats...

Edited to add: Can I ask our gurus, what does TC Ului mean for the rest of us? What's the likely scenario to be played out once he/she makes landfall? Move south or is it too early to tell? Hi all, I was wondering this myself, our forecast is to just have some showers atm is that because its a weak...

WG - lol you must have posted while i was still typing.
Good to hear you are prepared.
Please take care.

Thanks Sniper.
Was just wondering if the supermarket is going to be inundated as it was when Hamish cruised by.
Don't think i will have to worry though.
Hope WG is ok - stay safe

Im with Lily, this info is great. I am actually learning something. Some of the locals are thinking it will come further south than Yeppoon, or possibly hitting land up further then going back out to sea and coming back in further down the coast...does a cyclone have to be a stronger one to be able ...

Maryborough - QLD
Expected top of 29 today with showers. Doesn't seem as windy as yesterday.
Enjoying the cooler temps
Is getting windy now.

Almost 1000km of the Qld coast is on cyclone watch, according to Sunrise in their latest news update.
What are your thoughts on Ului this morning?

Hi Lily, I noticed that most of the red has disappeared. Weird.
it still looks nice in this one. I wonder why along the coastline it is all clear.

Is it fizzling out? It doesn't look as neat as it was.

Stay safe WG. i just watched footage of a Cat 2/3 on youtube and it wasn't pleasant. So much for putting your car in gear and putting the handbrake on, these cars ended up on their roof. Let us know if you decide to leave but i would be doing it early if you are going to go. Certainly wouldn't want ...

Maryborough - QLD BOM have todays top temp 27.1 @ 3pm and only 1.8mm of rain. Windier than normal but has been for the last few days. Weird day really, pours rain for a few minutes then the sun is back out. Warm when the wind drops but cools quickly once it picks up again. Expecting more rain tonigh...
