That sounds like mighty bad luck for your Grand Daughter, villatranquilla.
I'm sure the Station is well prepared for any Cyclone, They've probably been through many over the years.
Here's the latest Warning...........
BoM issues cyclone alert for Pilbara and Kimberley communities as tropical low intensifies,
they usually evacuate everyone to Port Hedland, but no doubt they will be very busy putting everything away today and tomorrow. My Brother spent a few years at Karratha and was keen to experience a cyclone - "never again" he said after sitting through one there a couple of years ago.
