Tropical Cyclone Sandra has been downgraded to Category 1 after causing havoc on Lord Howe Island.
Tropical Cyclone Sandra passed just to the east of Lord Howe Island last night as a category 2 system. Highest gusts reported from the island were 146km/h at Windy Point at 10.18pm while the airport weather station had a top gust of 120km/h at 9pm. Gusts over 100km/h persisted for more than 10 hours.
Shown here is the satellite image taken around the same time as the strongest gusts.

More than a week ago some of the weather models had this cyclone passing across SEQ/ NE NSW so we are fortunate it took a more typical sort of track.
