Phil Perry Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 My friend Marv, ( Pom - resident and working on the Gold Coast ) has mentioned that there is a rather nasty looking cyclonic weather event due to brush the Queensland coast on Friday morning, . . .I hope everyone has secured their aircraft, and that no damage is caused this time . . . . . having had several aircraft damaged due to high winds over the years ( We can't all afford nuclear bunkers to keep them in obviously. . .) weather can be a real pain at times. . . . I truly hope to see no more pictures of upside down flying machines on various airfields in the path of whatever is coming. . . . Bon chance mes Amis. . . .and Good luck as well. . . . . Phil 1

Guest Maj Millard Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Yes Marcia is now Cat 5 and still offshore...looks like it will hit around the St Lawrence area which is pretty flat and the Rockhampton and Yeppoon areas. St Lawrence and Yeppoon have now been evacuated. Very tight system with well defined eye....and a lot of rain will fall as a result as it is predicted to travel south down through coastal areas towards Brisbane later in the day. WX in Townsville is fine clear and almost calm as we prepare for a funeral for one of our local aviators at 10 am.
Doug Evans Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 think it may have been a bat flying backwards
Phil Perry Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 My condolences to the family of your friend Ross,. . . . My Mate Marv lives way down the coast at mudjeriba ( Bet I've got that name spelled wrong ! ) Phil
facthunter Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 You won the bet Phil.. Hope the damage is minimal Coastal QLD folks. Don't cross flooded roads. Play it safe. Nev 1
