Cyclone coming in around Cairns/Port Douglas region, Qld's East Coast down to Mackay getting some rain, looks like the cyclone might head across Gulf and bring some rain to the Top End.

Adelaide having its second cracker thunderstorm front with a line of storms heading down Yorke Peninsula, a relly told me last week's storm was the biggest they could remember in Adelaide.

Bit of rain forming over the Top End.

The recent Storm in SEQ that claimed the 3 lives in Moreton Bay south of Green Island is actually my home turf. Locals reported the weather that came through that afternoon was reminiscent to a Tornado. It took rooves off and laid down 100 year old trees on the waterfront.
Sadly enough, two of the blokes that passed were involved with my Senior Rugby club and one of them was a well liked teacher and ex QLD representative rugby player who taught at the local Boys College.

Sad times in the Southern Bay community.
