Two powerful storms were on track to smash into northern Australia, where officials urged residents to flee coastal areas or take shelter in anticipation of drenching rains, fierce winds and possible flooding. The twin storms, dubbed the "cyclone sandwich" by locals, were both expected to hit remote areas when they make landfall early Friday, about 2,500 kilometers (1,500 miles) apart. Cyclone Lam was heading for a sparsely-populated stretch of the Northern Territory, while the more powerful Cyclone Marcia was expected to hit the eastern coast of Queensland state a few hours later with wind gusts up to 295 kilometers (180 miles) an hour.
The Bureau of Meteorology warned that Marcia had a "very destructive core," had intensified rapidly and could grow stronger before it strikes. The cyclone was likely to cause flooding in low-lying areas, the bureau warned. (AP)

All I can say is WOW.

I've never experienced anything like this in all my time in Queensland (you know I can hear you snickering mick)

Cyclones or even their tails rarely reach SEQ (south east Queensland) but it looks like Marcia is going to cross at a place called Yipoon and exit back out to sea where I live in SEQ

Already its absolutely pissing down, and we've got 2 more days of this {0}

HO LEE FUK!

No shit, we only got about 1/2 inch of freezing rain topped off with 2 inches of snow. Whole state is shut down. Cant climb up the side of a mountain in these conditions.

No. Basically an act of mad men to thaw the arctic region so they can take more money. They pump warm moist air into the north to expand and shit down the USi. This is pretty constant if you have been watching. I have been watching it for years, which to them explains global warming and also global cooling. http://www.goes.noaa.gov/

love wunderground. classic is my homepage. :D

Used to use their home page and still do for the rader and detail, But use the wundermap and its layers to get a better overview. It also makes up for the radar holes that the regular map does have.

Much better over all and one hell of more control , detail and time span choices.

[mick silver]

not at once like thisbut what made it bad is the wind chill of 25 below
You don't get much snow do you mick?

[Hitch]

[Cebu_4_2]
