good morning australia
bianca has now shifted it's path of approach and is heading for rockingham /safety bay area
i think it will finish up turning further and hitting even closer to
perth after originally expected to hit at dawesville then mandurah and now rrrrockingpig and not-safe bay??
we only have scattered clouds and low wind here in bunbury at 3.57am and i dont at this stage see any major problems occuring here and its not raining either
so i'm going back to sleep /see ya later wet potato !
cheers

G'day all
It is good to learn that "Bianca" might be a whole lot less of an event than what was predicted, the only real thing to keep in mind is that a mobile tropical low is unpredictable and it could
well retrace its path and do it all again.
The inland
Pilbara had little effect from Bianca apart from a couple of very cloudy days and some light rain ~ BUT ~
Newman got absolutely belted by a violent storm, very early (0215am) Saturday. Come day light the evidence was quite impressive, megga dollars of damage to roofs on some houses in the town, lots of trees bought down onto houses, fences, shade sails, trampolines etc, etc all decidedly second hand and destined for
the tip.
Not heard if there were any casualties ~ hopefully every one escaped unscathed.
Not sure if the storm was one of Bianca's children, but it sure was an angry bugger and it dumped 25mil of rain into my rain gauge (
unofficial of course)
Stay safe.
