you may be without a popular caravan pk after today its had more than its fair share of distruction over the last few years and they have not long re-built from the last wipe-out
the current cyclone lua
is going to make a full-on direct hit on the
eighty mile beach caravan pk this afternoon
sandfire rd house and pardoo rd house will also be in the line of fire going
by the -threat track- map just viewed as its path is straight between the two of them
it is scheduled to cross the coast early to mid afternoon today
so anyone that was expecting to go to the eighty mile bch c/park this year may have their plans tipped upside down as
well pm today
it is expected to have 230km per hr wind as it crosses the coast
my thoughts are with everyone up there and i sincerly hope no one is injured
its a scary time for
all good luck to all concerned
cheers
barry

yeah I dont know about these sort of predictions, seems like rather bad taste.
Who is the prediction intended to benefit?
People staying there now? Probably wont make them feel better?
80 mile caravan park owners? mmm-somehow seems pretty uncool to be pre-empting the demise of their business.
Often it would seem that such predictions are only to say later-"See I knew that was going to happen"
Lets just stick to giving them our best wishes, and leave it at that I reckon.

Fisho64,
The original post is clearly for the information of travelers and for those who are familiar with 80 Mile Beach Caravan Park. Not to wish any ill upon anyone. Anyway it all turned out ok according to the
Perth News,
"Pete Morris, from the
Eighty Mile Beach Caravan Park, said he had braced for the worst but managed to avoid the cyclone's fierce centre.
``It's very blowy but we didn't suffer any damage,'' he said.
``I'm not sure how
Pardoo station would have held up though because we've heard it went right through there.
``I can hear it thumping outside now. After sitting through Cyclone Laurence in 2009 a category five with gusts up to 300km/h this was pretty mild.''

you may be right, clearly telling people to change their plans as it will be out of action for this year.
As I said, for what purpose.
It didnt hit there and they are ok.
A bit like predicting when someone with terminal cancer is going to pass away. You might think about it, but its not spoken about.
