Cyclone Nicholas

New folder!

*****Update****

The cyclone is still category three and we are on yellow alert. It looks like it may swing away- hopefully!!!

The town is now on blue alert and may go to yellow alert this afternoon. We've been tracking the cyclone on http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDW60285.shtml
and it may hit this evening or tomorrow. It's hard to tell- it may swing away- I'm hoping!
We all watched a short doco called Cyclone Alley which was all about cyclone Vance which hit Exmouth and Onslow. A second cyclone, Elaine, affected Moora with dreadful flooding in 1999. Cylcone Vance was category 5 and much stronger than cyclone Tracy which devasted Darwin in1974 . The documentary showed some great tips on what to do before the cyclone.
Cyclone Nicholas is category 3 at the moment.
