About 6 drops, looks promising but nothing comes from it, just heat and humidity, the wind has picked up over the last 24 hours though as the cyclone slips by. Solar panels could do with a clean.

Oh yeah it was cranking
Oh yeah it was cranking yesterday in Roebourne. I had to tell the young fella working with me to go and sit in the aircon for half an hour before he dropped to the ground, as I could see he was literally f**ed. It was his first day back up in the Pilbara.

There is also another good USA military site called Joint Typhoon Warning Centre which gives weather advice to US Navy. Even JTWC wasnt showing.

Son, Deepwater , isn't a happy chappie, his mate Leon and his missus Tracey have travelled down from Ktown and they are ready for the start of Gamex in Exmouth over the next week so no doubt will be having fingers, eyes and toes crossed that it doesn't stirr things up too much.
