Sorry for my late reply but ive been away for the weekend. I dont know
how ppl can say such things when so many chasers have seen funnels and the
such now. Not to mention the 10 or so aussie naders pics i can think of off
the top of my head. Must be kewl to be in an argument you know your going
to win! :) Anyway tell your friend to check out these links at my site
http://members.xoom.com/wastorms/sum.html Tornadoes in WA. This article
covers numbers of tornadoes recorded since 1955 and deals with recordings
per population density. It also reveals WA's tornado capital with an
amazing 18 tornadoes in 33 years!
http://members.xoom.com/wastorms/wa.html A complete history of Tornadoes in
WA. This is now complete with all known tornadoes occurrences recorded here
for the years 1955-1998 please note these are confirmed BOM tornadoes. We
have had many others that we were sus of but these are 100% confirmed events.
Now the nail in the coffin (as if the bucca pics arent already) tell your
friend to check out the best photos (IMO) of a tornado captured in
Australia, the "famous" Northam tornado.

Some mates of mine are in a band here and I went to see them last week and
they had this song called, wait for it, mini
tornadoes!.................................ummmmmmmmmmm just thought I'd
share that useless piece of info with you all. Its not like i have an
interesting wx here in Perth to talk about :(
Actually.......... maybe Perth is Illawarras secret love sister?? Ahhhhhhhh
I know.................. Brisbane and Sydney had a fling but Brissie was
actually married to charleville, anyway Melbourne left for a job in the
city but before she did she met charleville at the summer bay dinner in
ramsey st. Melbourne told charleville that she saw brissie with sydney but
it was really a mix up casuse sydney was really only around to clean
brissie's pipes for her and to do some other "odd" jobs. Anyway sydney had
to move away and have brissies secret love children perth and illawarra.
Thing is they were twins seperated at birth by mistake. The docter from
ERRRRRR (george clueless) said they would be better seperated as they both
had one extra "S" (southerly change) DNA and this could be devestating as
freo already had a doctor.
Tune in next week to find out if Adelaide does finally come out in support
of hobarts recent gay revelations :)))))))))
They say that before u can love somone else first u must love yourself,

Hi All.
Well, the TC Steve map animation is finished.
I decided to do hourly frames from 4pm AEST (0600 UTC), so it took a while,
but it clearly shows the eye passage over Cairns.
It is at http://www.ace-net.com.au/~carls/SteveAnim.htm

Actually, I think Anthony enjoyed paying me back for some of the waffle he
had to put up with on Friday night - especially the bit about the kangaroo
trying to run me over...and we had 8/8 blue sky and southerly winds in
Melbourne yesterday - so there were "no cbs here" - I enjoyed it Anthony -

G'day all,
Well, even though my new car needs a little attending to, we are still
going to Oberon today. My partner wants to get an idea of where I am in
winter when I ring and say, "Hi honey, I'm at Trickett just now and..."
or "It's p...ing down at Shooters" during the snow season.
And check this out, we are even visiting a really nice couple who have a
farmstay cabin out there where it is likely we will be staying in July
for our mid-year holidays. If I get time, I will check to see if the
little library has a net connection at Oberon so I can post during our
hols.
Cheers,
Lindsay Pearce

BTW, finally got some decent rainfall in Box Hill on weekend with 36mm to
9am Saturday - some 12mm in even time. Makes nearly 250mm for summer,
compared to ~190mm for winter 1999, and continues the recent trend for
summer to be wetter than winter around Melbourne.

Hi Paul in Darwin and all,
Noted your observation the other day that the MJO was passing over eastern
Indonesia, and wondered about the predicted time for the "wave" which then
was for the third week in Jan.
I recently got the latest SOI Message, dated 19th Jan, from Qld Department
of Primary Industry. It contained the following, and I thought I'd seek
others' comments.
"The behaviour of the 30 to 50 Day Oscillation was very inconsistent during
1999. It appears that a *shadow wave* passed through the region during the
last week of December, and the next passage of the main wave is expected
around the third week of January."
Any thoughts, and what sign of MJO at the moment ?
Regards,
Bill
Proserpine.

Watch out for thin bands of red with a
sharply defined back edge crossing from the NW ----> SE, ana cold fronts
spawning funnels / tornadoes. Also watch for large circular blobs in
summertime heading N - MCS. Also organised altocumulonimbus in bands heading

Melbourne will be highly marginal to set a new record for February
mean maximum temperature.
By my reckoning, we need to reach 27.3 tomorrow to equal the 1898
record, and 30.2 to break it. These figures are upper bounds and
could be a little lower if either the reset figure on the 9th
was higher than the 29.7 mentioned earlier, or if it tops today's
max of 24.4 by 0900 tomorrow (unlikely).
Forecast for tomorrow: 30!
March also looks like it could get off to a very hot start indeed.
Adelaide's March record of 41.9 could come under some pressure on
Thursday, as might the Victorian state record of 42.6 at Mildura.

TROPICAL CYCLONE WATCH
TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVICE NUMBER 1
Issued by the BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY, DARWIN
at 5:00 pm CST [5:30 pm EST] Monday 28 February 2000
A CYCLONE WATCH has been declared for coastal and island communities
between Mornington Island in Queensland and Alyangula in the Northern
Territory.
A TROPICAL LOW [ex-Steve] at 5pm CST [5.30 pm EST] was centred over land at the
base of Cape York Peninsula near Normanton and moving west-southwest at
20 kilometres per hour near the southern Gulf of Carpentaria.
If the low continues its current track over land cyclone development is
unlikely. However there is some possibility that it will start to move towards
the northwest, with the risk of a cyclone developing Tuesday night or Wednesday
in the southern Gulf of Carpentaria.
GALES are not expected in coastal areas within the next 24 hours, however gales
could develop later if a cyclone redevelops.
Details of TROPICAL LOW [ex-Steve]
at 5 pm CST [5.30 pm EST]:
. Centre located near...... 17.5 degrees South 141.5 degrees East
. Location accuracy........ within 90 kilometres
. Recent movement.......... towards the west-southwest at 20 km/h
. Wind gusts near centre... 80 kilometres per hour
. Central pressure......... 1002 hectoPascals
People between Mornington Island and Alyangula should listen for the
next advice which will be issued at 11 pm CST [11.30 pm EST]

Hi Bill.
It seems that your email got lost in the wilderness some where but
I will answer it.
Yes - the last MJO wave hit Darwin early Feb and brought over
400mm of rain in 3.5 days. I sent several posts about it (I can hear
those people who flame me already groaning..........)
However it seems that a very active Madden-Julian pulse is
near/upon us - these typically last 30 - 60 days - I mean 3 TC's in
hours after none for months says soemthing about how strong this
pulse is!
Up here - we are over 200% above average for rain for february, with
a wet march a distinct possibility - we may even give some records
a push for monthly rainfalls.
Need a big fall tonight though! Had 75mm last night (Darwin had
90mm). For those doubters out there (and yes I can name them! :))
Bayview is very close to Parap on the BOM rainlist. Check it out.

Bring back Ray! Bring back Ray!
Sorry Claire, but as my 8-year-old daughter said tonight- unprompted -
during Ten’s weather, “She doesn’t have as much cred as that old guy who use
to be on”.
Sigh.
Tonight’s effort, after cyclone Steve, was pretty pathetic. Good ‘old Uncle
Ray would be slicing and dicing the data, explaining it to us simpletons.
And Ray would have caught the 5:30 PM (Queensland local), TCA from Darwin.
Giving the future outlook in the Gulf a slightly different twist from what
Claire said. S%%t Claire, I can see ‘that low ” on the map just as well as
you. Explain to me what it doing or going to do.
I guess we have been spoilt in Brisbane. Especially if the weekend weather
news from Ten Melbourne is any guide. (Which is utter crap.)
I can hardly wait until Claire helps us calibrate our barometers.
Thus, I pronounce, my weather news ratings for Brisbane;
#1 Seven.
#2 ABC
#3 Nine
#4 SBS
#5 Brisbane 31 (Community Station that shows weird shows sometimes and no
news.)
#6 Ten
I would be interested in other aus-wx ratings for around television weather
news for around Australia.

For Perth, Channel 10 has been the best station for weather news since John
Barrnett went from ABC to 10 in 1988, the way he explained everything was
great, he retired at the end of 1997 after 25 years or so as a weather
presenter (most years with the ABC), after he retired most of us here in
Perth hoped 10 would get the next best weatherman around, Michael Shultz
who was with the ABC, and you got it, they got him, he is just as good as
Barrnett as he goes well into detail.
So my weather news ratings for Perth:
1) Ten
2) ABC
3) Seven
4) Nine (the weather presenter there doesnt have a clue)
5) SBS and Channel 31 (what weather presenters?)

Hi Anthony
Interesting rantings - yes, unfortunately, the quality overall of TV weather
presentations here is nothing too exciting, especially compared to something
like the US, where each station has at least one resident meteorologist and
radar etc etc, but don't get me started on US weather data availability!
My personal ratings of a pretty poor choice all round in Sydney are:
#1: Seven (For obvious reasons :P)
#2: ABC (Used to be #1 but they have now cut down the time for the weather
slot, so less data is presented)
#3: Ten (Although the presenter, good old Tim Bailey, is about as in
tune with the weather as I am with the surf, the info is actually reasonably
good and it is presented in a very user-friendly manner)
#4: Nine (The info is good, and the presenter, Alan Wilkie, knows what
he's talking about, but unfortunately noone else does because he mumbles
inaudibly)
#5: SBS (What more can I say?)
Any others?
What about Melbourne, Adelaide or Perth?
Matthew Pearce

Well at least you guys get a choice -
we have this dill on Seven who wears these faggoty vests and acts
like a damm clown - Steve Price is his name. On Channel 8 (yes
thats right - channel 8) we have either the old guy (who looks like
he has sucked lemons) or the ice maiden reading the weather .
Ratings here would go
1. Weather21 (hehehe I had to get the plug in here somewhere)
2. Channel 8
3. ABC
4. SBS
5. Satans Prime Hour
6. Noahs wildlife special
and last but not least..................
7. Yep you guessed it - 7
PS - some excitement in the air here re: the possible TC in the
gulf............
Paul.
