So where is it going next? Townsville is desperate for some rain but I'm certain the wind would not be welcome!
Several years ago & before I retired a cyclone came in over northern CY Peninsula (Monica?) & went all around Australia before petering out south of Port Lincoln (SA)! I recall one of the Telstra staff at Weipa telling me that it was "an excuse to get them to clean up their back yards" as one ice-cream container on his back lawn did not shift!

Absolutely no wind in NZ to blow it way . Just rained continuously . Keep in mind the rolling hill country feeding the rivers etc down stream .

I have just received a email from an old Mate of mine who lives down in Queen Charlotte Sound ( top of South Island ) and on the edge of Cook Strait.
He tells me it's freezing cold there now and as a result of the Cyclone, they have been experiencing wind gusts up to 80kph.
Not a nice place to be in rough weather .

Yes down south in high country . The wind blows between both islands . The new cyclone is not helping .. Why we call Wellington . Windy Wellington . Even though it's on the North Island . Btw down south they've had bugger all rain .
