Willis Island automatic weather station has called it a day, they usually pack it in at around 90 knots.

Used to have an underground concrete bunker but it was removed, think I'd prefer that over the new stuff built there.

Be interested to see how much is still standing.

if i was one of you guys that was in the evacuation zone... i'd pack up my shit and get the fck out of their..

hope your all ok though... looks like its going to be one mean fking bish...

keep checking www.bom.gov.au

Have a mate in South Townsville off Boundary Street tell me they had surge waters coming through the street at 10 am today. They packed up and got out. Parents place in Idalia is sandbagged the sh!t up, so hopefully should be alright.

All servos are closed and I heard the highway to Bowen is closed? Then I saw plenty of people heading west towards the Towers??? I don't know why you would bother, nothing there is rated to any form of cyclone. I'm praying it doesn't swing south anymore but there is nothing more to do than sit tight and wait this out. Goodluck dudes!

They will head for the towers because it will be the best way to go south, I would go as far as hughenden if I were there.

Its just starting to get breazy here (kirwan townsville). Not hugely worried though i've got plenty of beer and a salami and the car is safely in the carport.

Looking at the tracking map even Mt Isa is going to get some! thats one f*ck off big storm to get that far!

Phil, youve done the matress thing with your car, probably the best and only thing you can do.

Magnetic Island hidden by rain now, would be pretty rough over there, did they evac everyone off there?

My Weather app, current data (wind speed):

Mackay - 30km/h

Townsville - 46km/h

Cairns- 11km/h

Bowen 46km/h

So up north of the cyclone is defenitly experiencing "the calm before the storm"

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
