"Tropical Cyclone Isobel crossed the northwest Australian coast on
Wednesday, causing little damage, but weather forecasters warned it may now
link up with a deep depression inland to create a destructive "perfect
storm".

"It's one of the few occasions as a forecaster that you really do hope
your forecast is wrong," Australia's Bureau of Meteorology forecaster
Grant Elliott told local radio.

"But unfortunately indications are that it's going to be a very
significant, perhaps a once-in-a-generation, storm for this time of
year," said Elliott."

""We're expecting some quite exceptional winds on Thursday,
perhaps reaching 100 to 120 km per hour, so there'll be localised damaging
winds and the risk of quite significant livestock losses with the
combination of rain and wind producing hypothermia," said the bureau's
Elliott."


Aussie summer....rain....winds...hypothermia?

it's a pity the Ashes are ending...
