Hi Everyone,
I’m sure i’m not the only one who has noticed, and I don’t look at other forums, but it is a little eerie how a tropical low is potentially going to develop into a cyclone and affect Darwin on Christmas day. If you consider 1974 was the year of the major Brisbane floods at the start and cyclone Tracy at the end there is a striking parallel with 2011 having major Brisbane floods at the start of the year and now a potential cyclone for Darwin right on christmas. Who would’ve imagined this script would possibly repeat itself in 2011?

Yes an interestingly starking similarity but as we know in science, it did not eventuate into a major tropical cyclone just to make things more interesting and keep us thinking.

The latest on ex-Tropical Cyclone Grant is that it is moving east towards the Gulf of Carpentaria. As it is does it will encounter ideal conditions (warm sea surface temperatures) to reform into a tropical cyclone. Question is when it does where will it ventue? I suspect further east into the Coral Sea – time will tell.
