Paul, wait till you get the chance to experience cyclones - you can really
get to see weather coming from anywhere (although there is usually a
relationship to the cyclone centre), and 34 mm of rain will seem like a
light shower!

Hi All.

The first 3 frames of the TC ILSA map animation are now on-line at
http://www.ace-net.com.au/~carls/Ilsa.htm.

I will endeavour to keep it updated as the new BoM shipping warnings become
available - the next update will be after some sleep, so will probably be a
little later than the warning issue, sometime in the morning.

Regards,
Carl.

Gday Carl & Everyone. I have experienced a Cat 5 TC last year - Matt Smith, Greg Browning, Nick Sykes & myself were in Darwin for TC Thelma - we had 770mm in 48 hours - so I guess we experienced some heavy rain!! I remember on many occasions all of us racing outside to see this wall of water falling from the sky - and the noise was amazing!!

I do agree that the rain was phenomenal at times however - even though during the first 24 hours of it scraping by Darwin I was in a pub watching it on TV with about 20 nervous backpackers I hope that the storms up there are starting to become more typical of normal build up/early Wet storms, cos I know the ones I saw this year paled in comparison to the storms last year. Extrememly different build up this year up there - something most ppl I talked to put down to the fact that there wasn't really a Dry season in 1998.

Darwins Total rainfall for Dec 98 was well over 800mm, and the yearly total was the highest ever at 2490mm - being 10th decile and the highest total on record.
