Tropical Cyclone Lua

Post by TOONGA » Wed Mar 14, 2012 7:30 pm

Seems when ever I fly to Karratha a cyclone decides to show up.

Cyclone Watch for Tropical Cyclone Lua

TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVICE NUMBER 2
Issued at 3:25 pm WST on Wednesday 14 March 2012

A Cyclone WATCH has been declared for coastal areas from Cape Leveque to Mardie.

At 2:00pm WST Tropical Cyclone Lua, Category 1 was estimated to be
680 kilometres northwest of Karratha, 790 kilometres northwest of Port Hedland, and moving north at 15 kilometres per hour away from the coast.

Although Lua is currently moving north, it is likely to take a more
southeasterly track towards the east Pilbara coast and intensify during Thursday and Friday.

Gales are not expected in coastal areas during the remainder of Wednesday or Thursday. Gales could develop during Friday morning between Mardie and Port Hedland, extending east to Cape Leveque later on Friday ahead of the cyclone crossing the coast.

Looks like I won't be working this Saturday :(

Houses are built to the standard for the area they are in.. Perth is not a cyclone area so houses don't need to be built to cyclone proof.. Anywhere north of the 27th do.

TC Lua is expected to cross the coast East of Port Headland some time Saturday. So all of the cyclone proofing we have done in the last 2 days means we have a clean camp and a clean building site :)

You may still be starting Sunday Tristian.

I hope you all enjoy the mayhem and that no one gets hurt in the process. Got you're "cyclone supplies"?? Eg, 3-4 slabs and a meat tray..?

Cheers

Hmmm..... Guy, the story about three little pigs


I googled Mauritius housing and got a very concise description

"There are three basic types of houses: wattle and daub construction with thatched roofs; galvanized sheet-iron structures; and houses constructed of wood. In 2000, There were 297,671 housing units nationwide. Of theses, about 65% were detached houses, 24.5% were semi-detached homes or blocks of flats. About 99% of all dwellings were privately owned. Most households have three to five people. About 83.7% of all dwellings have indoor piped water, 99% have electricity, 87.8% have an indoor kithcen, and 74.8% have an indoor bathroom"

LOL.... I love how most facts about Mauritius isn't really facts at all. LOL. Most of Mauritian houses are made of 100% concrete with metal reinforced beams and flat roofs. Some of them are covered with wooden triangle shaped roof frame and iron sheets.
