Broome police are advising residents not to hold "cyclone parties" as Western Australia's north brace for its second tropical cyclone in a fortnight.
A tropical low brewing off the Kimberley coast and likely to develop into a cyclone Wednesday night, with the possibility of a category three storm by Friday.
Cyclone parties where people drink stockpiled alcohol, while bunkered indoors have been popular, but controversial, among residents during severe weather events in WA's north.
Should this disturbance follow it's predicted ( MetEye ) path , it could be a problem for Perth as well, as the path leads directly into the city !!!

Been to a couple of them in my youth, at the time figured it was safer at the cyclone party at the pub than being alone in a flimsy caravan at the caravan park. Times change and better community planning with safer evacuation centers are in place these days for this kind of event.
