Dumping rain right now, for quite a while so far. Good lightning and a bit of thunder.
And one almighty bolt went down the other side of the Bluff, and the loudest longest thunder I've heard.

Wonder how Scott is doing.

Edit: 50mm so far at 11:10pm.
Lots of sheet lightning still. Thunder has quietened down, and the rain is just easing off. No wind at all, only the slightest of gentle breeze now and then.

Not the same as Windy. If you look at the info it's a "real time hurricane tracker" with images updated every ten minutes. You can also go back 14 days.

55mm in the gauge this morning. 50 of that fell by 11.10pm last night.

Thanks to Colmait keeping a record of TC Kirrily. Maybe we can rebuild a knowledge base.

YTD: 401mm

Well that was interesting.
A very light sprinkel fell here at some point but nothing to record.
Winds from the west since yesterday arvo, but nothing wild.

Just love how every one of these systems is so so different.


Cheers

Yeah thats about the extent of it SM...I heard it blew over 3 trees and a rickety fence in Townsville...Barely a Cat 1 I reckon by the time it made landfall..

Not quite the doomsday [censored]that Higgins was scaring people with and certainly not the "RI" to a Cat 5 as shown in his "simulated Sat pic" on this FB post below....but I bet he got some extra subscribers to sign up..


higgins bs3.png


He made this update below super scary when absolutely none of the data substantiated these claims....Cat 3 and intensifying with mnajor flooding to come, winds in excess of 189 km/h...???

34mm here this morning. The rain was light to steady for most of yesterday.

A nice bit of Higgins scaremongering Scott. I don't think I'll be subscribing anytime soon.

YTD: 648.5mm

Higgins was completely wrong anyway. Ex-Kirrily is out over Richmond and Cloncurry now.

I don't know how but it definitely got there quickly 28. Left behind a good monsoon flow as I'll try to show.

Try and make it a bit bigger next time without all the extra jargon.

Just a bit of a practice run on image upload there. It's quite tricky on an Android phone when your all thumbs.

Nothing on the radar, then realised there was a very light drizzle.

2mm in the gauge and still the light drizzle continues.

Will check again at 9am. If it clears up after that anything in there will evaporate...

We ended up with 26mm for the event, apparently Redlynch lost some power and a couple of old fences as well from the downslope winds.

2022: 1520mm
2023: 2710mm

It actually sort of rained after I checked the gauge and at 9am there was an extra 5mm.

The lightning bolt that struck in Kirrily's storm the other night struck the hospital and took out all their communications. Hospital fine. Think it hit a satellite dish. Queensland Health is so stingy they're stuck with Sky Muster which doesn't work in storms...

Bloody thunderstorms....we had a big grumbly growler a way out the back today then all of a sudden I heard the router blow up and that static-y feeling in the air followed by a very close lightning strike...bugga we just have internet through the phone now till we get a new one after the weekend and no TV as we it comes through the internet but uses too much GB...

Must have been a Cat4 thunderstorm as it did more damage then Cat 3 Kirrily..BigGrin

What a fizzer highest official wind speed I’m Townsville region was 107 km/h @ Alva beach south of Townsville. Townsville itself didn’t even reach 100 km/h despite some flog on channel 7 saying 155 km/h bullshit. Bom need to be sacked barely a cat 1 and they had it as a cat 3 right up until crossing.

This is a joke, some people in Townsville carrying on like they were experience cat 5 on Facebook cringe worthy. Mate down in Tassie I have been there many times my wife is from there I have experienced legit 156km/h winds there measured at bureau sites. Winds over 100 km/h are not uncommon at all down there they don’t even call it anything just a front or whatever coming through no one bats an eye lid. Have a look throughout the year at matsauker island station which is a light house only just few hundred metres off the south coast of tassie now that is a windy place cyclone strength winds frequently.

These cat 1 and 2 up here are a joke the amount of drama and carry on, cat 3 and up are the real deal.

To back this up I just checked the Bureau observations for tassie for today and matsuyaker (spelling) Island recorded a gust today if 126km/h and mount Wellington 130km/h and no one will hear anything of this hahaha what a joke these would be cat 2 strength winds up here and is significantly more than anything Townsville just went through. Anyone who is reading this now I recommend you scroll through todays observations for tassie and have a look at all the highest gusts for
Today many up around and over 100km/h and this is common

Check this one guys 31
July this year 200 km/h @ matsauker island, you can click on just about any month of the year and see wind speeds of cat 2 and 3 strength.

5mm - from the "rain" yesterday morning after I checked the gauge.

Nothing on the radar again this morning, only to see there's the faintest misting "rain" so faint you barely know it's there.

Checking the radar again and there's the odd white bits flashing in and out.

As for winds troppo, the North gets 2 or 3 cyclones max a year, sometimes we don't get any. Yet Brisbane region gets those sudden damaging storms multiple times every year. Obviously not the wind speeds you're mentioning in Tassie, but trees come down, roofs are torn off, & tens of thousands lose power every time.

I still remember Sydney storms, watching the branches of the willow trees blow horizontally for hours.
