Tropical Cyclone update
Tropical Cyclone Helen is now a category 2 cyclone and is still moving east. She is producing wind gusts of up to 130 Kph, and is located 185 Km south southwest of Darwin and moving at 15 Kph.
As you can see by the picture its not that far from here, the small dark pink ring indicates the destructive winds, and the larger ring indicates gale force winds. I will up date later in the evening or you can go to the the Bureau of meteorology web site and check for yourself.
My mates are in Darwin at the moment, in lockdown. Scarey stuff! They said that the lamp posts outside are shaking and they can’t leave their hotel rooms.

it is getting windy here at the moment, however not to concerned as it is only a Cat 2, if it was a Cat 3 or above it would be a different story. It is now 1030 pm waiting for update 13 which is ment to be released by 11 pm then off to bed.
