yeah our latest website didnt even cost $4000 let alone $4 million...How you can spend that kind of money to set that up is just mind boggling...some design firm is laughing all the way to the bank and BOM has said they will just change it if there is enough feedback of things that need improvement.....sounds like an open checkbook for that website designer..

Mellissa in now 907hPa with 280km/h sustained winds..be interesting to see if it maintains intensity and remains so slow moving once it does its expected northerly turn...
