Hey Wagsy, hold on tight ...

6 posts
  1. Hey Wags,

     

    hope you have everything tied down as TC George looks like coming to see you!

     

    For those who want to keep track, you can look here to see the latest satelite pic, and here for the official warnings and here for the expected path.

     

    If those links don't stay current you can navigate your way from www.bom.gov.au

     

    We'll all be thinking of you, Kelly and everyone in Exmouth and surrounds if things get nasty.

  2. Thanks Darren

    Yes we are watching it, but it looks like it took a turn and will hit the coast north of us. :)

     

    If it looks like if it goes 5 and changes path to us..we are out of here and will head south. In 1999 we had Vance (Cat 5) and we were in a concrete building and we still did not feel safe :o .

     

    I would say this time around there will be more damage as the new houses that have gone up don't look to strong and the new Canal / Marina will go for sure....but you know the engineering Experts tell us different though :wacko:

     

    Here is a 5.5 ton glass bottom boat that was on a trailer which was pickd up and blown many kilometers away over land and landed on the beach.

    And this is the shed our 4x4 was in.

  3. Yep, run like hell if it gets to that - here's the BOM's definition of Cat 5...and there is no Category 6....

     

    CATEGORY 5

    Extremely dangerous with widespread destruction.

    A Category 5 cyclone's strongest winds are VERY DESTRUCTIVE winds with gusts of more than 280 km/h.

    These winds correspond to the highest category on the Beaufort scale, Beaufort 12 (Hurricane).

  4. Crikey Wags,

     

    You and Kel stay safe you here.

     

    Dive safe

     

    Dean(actually don't dive in those conditions)B

  5. well, looks like Wags and Kelly are safe from TC George, he stayed a little north.

    Hope that all in Port Headland and surrounds are safe.

     

    So what did you guys in the North West do to deserve a week like this?

     

    SeemsTC Jacob is the next contender.

  6. Yeh here comes Jacob :wacko:

     

    Went out yesterday and the tide was super real high, there was even swell coming into the gulf :o
