An old bloke who has lived in the Pilbarra his whole life reckons we won't get any rain from this.

We shall see!

We got rain from it, lol

Well sort of, that northwest cloud band extending from it combined with the rough over WA, and moved through here this morning. We shouldntget too much more rain though unfortunantly.

Just though i'd add an article from today courier mail.

"Cyclone weakens, but badly injures man"

A 26-YEAR-old man has been seriously injured and is being flown to Perth by Royal Flying Doctor after being blown off a roof by high winds from Tropical Cyclone Laurence.

The man, who will be evacuated by Royal Flying Doctor, appears to have damage to his spine and hip and a broken arm, PerthNow reports.

The Royal Flying Doctor Service will be sending its Rio Tinto Life Flight jet and a medical crew from Perth to evacuate the badly injured patient from Kununurra, after Tropical Cyclone Laurence forced the RFDS Derby base into lock down.

The whole article is Here

Prettty sure it's not the brightest spark who would choose to be out on a roof in the middle of a cyclone (i'm assuming though he was trying to fix or tarp the roof maybe? - let's hope thats the reason at least!)
