Just imagine!

I have been having a squiz at a couple of the accumulated rainfall forecast models for the next 10 days resulting from Cyclone Trevor's expected foray inland.

if the modelling (from Windy.com) proves to be correct some outback areas would get what I believe would be unprecedented amounts of rain.

Bear in mind that Birdsville's annual average is 181mm.

Even the more conservative model would be significant!

Lake Eyre might fill up seeing Aust is shaped like a dish,,lol
QLD has been smashed with rain this summer

They did say we should be buying land around some of those dry inland lakes because one day they might fill up again and you would have cheap water front house blocks

Right into channel country too. With the Qld floodwaters already funneling towards Lake Eyre expect a boom in bird life there. Will be heaven for twitchers.

No Hodge, we are on the west coast, approx 750kms north of where Veronica is due to cause much destruction around midnight tonight. She passed us going southward a few days ago as a tropical low, but all we got was a few windy days, nothing extreme, as she was about 500kms off shore. She became a Cyclone & was named when about level with us & we were hoping she might turn toward the coast & head toward us as a cat 1 or 2 cyclone. Many thought she was probably the last chance for some decent rainfall in what has been one of the driest, if not THE driest wet season the North west Kimberley has ever seen. However with her rapid development to a Cat 4 (with potential to get to cat 5 before hitting land, we now feel we dodged a bullet. Port Hedland is staring down the barrel of gun with Veronica (already being referred to as 'Aunty Ronnie') due to hit land at least as a cat v4 around midnight tonight coinciding with a high spring tide. There will be significant flooding over a large area with rain fall of up to 500mm expected in addition to a 4 metre storm surge. All mines shut down & workers sent home.

Thanks for the reply !
Sorry, I did mean Veronica , but stated Trevor in confusion.
My mate got sent home from one of the mines in Pilbara. He said bosses are prepping for the worst as Veronica is very slow , so she could spend some tome wreaking havoc as she moves through.
