Yeah they do like forming around there.

If you're gonna go tropics in cyclone season and you're going OS, get as close to the equator a possible. Cyclones cannot form along it. :science:

There are a lot of different spiders spinning webs everywhere now that whatever loving poo poo the pest control cunts sprayed here 2 years ago has hosed off a bit.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Yeah we knew the risk, but we actually decided against the trip because Air Vanuatu only has one plane that fires to Australia, and it needs “repairs” fairly frequently. There was a story a few months back that a bunch of people got stranded in Vanuatu for a week because the plane was grounded and they literally don’t have another one lol

I'm not feelin' these new Tism songs. Greg The Stop Sign and Ol' Man River are all timers but I think they aged out

Ol' Man River is a very weird punk song making fun of River Phoenix for dying of an overdose, what a weird thought to turn into a very cool song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJGvmBiNiDY

Greg The Stop Sign is about how education is weird

Jasper cycloneposting may have stopped, but the rain hasn't.

The ex-cyclone has been bombarding the far north since mid-last week, with some areas seeing their annual rainfall average in four days.

The Daintree is exceptionally flooded, all towns and settlements along it will be completely hosed.



Cairns water is still rising



Barron Falls has gone from a standard trickle to a monumental torrent:

2020

NOW


Locals had to spend the night on roofs in Wujal Wujal and Bloomfield, plans are in place to airlift everyone to Cooktown ASAP. There's sadly a decent chance that not everyone has made it so far.



A ranger station in Gaarraay NP (NW of Cooktown )isn't faring much better, as locals and dogs sheltered on the roof.



The Cook Hwy between Port Douglas & Cairns is currently inaccessible



The Palmerston HWY fares no better.
