        Re: OT - Weather

        In Alice the weather has been pretty ordinary, 40+ days with grey clouds all around us but not a drip in the last few days except for a little yesterday. Its been hot and humid and everything tropical in this desert enviroment, very unlike it should be and more of it today. We really need a good downpour for a few days so the Todd River can wash out all the empty VB cans and everything else thats left in the river all the time. We need the waterholes filled up for the summer, please give us a break. Alice is due soon for the big one, its all the talk in town ATM.

                With any luck it will move inland as a big depression and we can get the water we need to flush out all those tinny fish we have in the Todd :wink:

                    I always find it quite amazing to see the circular swirl of a cyclone on the weather radar. And cyclone Laurence (WA coast) is no different:

                      Looks like where in for a big one here in Alice over the next couple of days leading up to Christmas and possibly longer. BOM has issued a major weather warning from cyclone "laurence" that it could see the Todd River running again. Could be the 10 year floor where due-

                        Hope it's not that dramatic... but a wet Xmas in the desert - now that's different.

                          Well it has been raining solidly here in the centre since Wednesday night and the Todd River is flowing the best I have seen it in over a decade. I will be going out to get some photos this afternoon and I will add them here. For those of you that were here for the GTG the water is over the casino bridge and rising.

                              Okay I went out and did some photography this afternoon, the Todd is already starting to receed but it is still an impressive site I think:

                              The Todd River flowing through The Gap looking south through The Gap



                              On the south side of The Gap looking across the Todd River at the Heavitree Gap motel.



                              Bath Times a fun time ( this is a bit of an "īn" joke reference to a TV advert here ):



                              For those that attended the GTG the above shot is the causeway you all drove over to get from the campground in Alice to go into town.


                              This is my own Youtube video of the Heavitree Gap causeway today.

                                Wow... :shock: That's a lot of water. Hope it is making its way to all the right places... where it's needed.

                                Have you got any shots similar to the first image... before the rain came?
