I was going to post exactly the same last night, that storm was way bigger than this one, in fact looking at now it was twice the length of this one.
Cheers Steve.

Gday Steve
Friends sold their boat over in Gove a couple of weeks ago after 15 years on the
water in the Top End, to many breezes and age beat them . .
Looking at the charts, looks like the flights out of Jabaru will be good this year out over the falls . . . you might have to come home early from holidays . . .
Kakadu . . . just the best place in Oz during the wet!!
Cheers

Hi all,
didn't see this thread earlier because I had all the "eletrics" off in the house. We were copping lighting strikes near the house and it was a bit of a wild ride with winds about 100km hr.
Power &
Water announced that they had recorded the highest number of lighting strikes in a single day - ever.... If I heard correctly 1,735 strikes. A few years ago they had around 1300 in a day. I certainly saw a few of those.
regards,

Morning Fred
Just looking at the chart, the low is still anchored over Berrimah, dropped down to 1005, with 3 monsoon troughs running in to it.
Cheers

cook apricot chicken and make banana bread to get back in the good books again... lol
