animation is 3.41 megs, it will take a while to load, especially on
dial-up
The cyclone was ~250k's North West of us when this movie was made by Kate Ferguson "Cyclone Glenda....surf's up !" (3.4 megs) - 29th of March, 2006  Image courtesy BroomeCam - www.broomecam.com/camera.htm |

Broome
Radar taken at around the same time as Kate's movie was taken.
At this stage, Glenda is cat 5, the eye is visible, as is rotation. This animation is 1.22 megs, it will take a while to load, especially on dial-up  Infrared satellite before she cruised past Broome, the orange dot in the middle is the eye.  IR animation as she's passing Cape Leveque on the way to the Pilbara  |
| Some
of my photo's from outside work as Glenda passed, there's also one from
Kennedy Hill looking North. Nothing exciting, just showing some of the rain.... |
|
 Doesn't look like much but it's PISSING down ! |

39
frame animation on the 40th of March, 2006 from Karratha radar with

Watch it veer slightly and aim for Cape Preston and Mardie. This animation is 3.73 megs, it will take a while to load, especially on dial-up  Infrared animation just before she crossed the coast and dumped a shedload of rain.  State map with Karratha radar as Glenda crossed the coast.
