Chris, it makes you wanna cry doen't it. When will we get a tornado warning
as such. According to Paul Graham, Canberra or SW NSW did receive such a
warning a few years back. Tasmania and Canberra have as part of their
warning and advice systems the tornado warning!!

Hi Keith,

Month has been a fairly foggy month for us. We had several fogs and some
were quite thick although did not last long with porr visibility. April
should be an interesting month I reckon.

Talking of cyclone swells I used to try to forecast the swell potential from
them, even back 20 years ago. I have learnt quite a few lessons, the first
being that you can a severe cyclone in the Coral Sea and not get 1 cent of
swell, but on the other hand I have surfed 6-8ft waves in Wollongong that
were generated near Vanuatu. Direction is the key, a cyclone must be east of
157-158' and be heading SW, S or SSW, when they move SE forget swell, even
if it was close to Australia at one stage. Next factor I like is some
interaction with high pressure to the south, this can increase the field of
gale force winds many hundrrds of kilometres further out from the centre.

I never did surf Voodoo, looked but did not touch.
