Sounds like the sort of weather that Capt Toss would take in his stride. Pity he isn't on the Airbus.....

:):):)

[fatbus]

Was it at least down the rwy?

[Shot Nancy]

Was it at least down the rwy?
Yep but it would help if you are on floats!

[airdualbleedfault]

Whats 140kts, 30 degrees off the runway track, pretty sure its not " straight down " :eek:

[nitpicker330]

New TAF out now FM 021400 350/75 G90

[crwjerk]

No use if it's down the runway. You'd look good hovering on finals.....!

[nitpicker330]

I think you'll find the winds in CNS didn't get above 50 kts all night. TSV had gusts around 55 kts up to 0100 DST, not sure after that but I dont think it got much worse.

edit by me......here are the Metars all night..

I Think CNS and TSV have dodged a bullet!!

[LongTimeInCX]

Well it was better than the forecast just a little earlier, which would cause most sane people to need new underwear.
The CNS 0118/0218 was giving:
FM 020800 16050G70 6000 RA BKN015
FM 021100 160100G140 2000 RA....
....severe turb below 6500FT .... (no ****!)

Thankfully, it sounds like the majority in cns and tvl escaped unscathed, pictures coming through the web of Tully and Mission Beach are pretty sad however. Both places look trashed.
Allegedly, the caring managers of the Dunk Island resort, evacuated guests, but kept staff on the island, (indentured labour) without evacuating them. They wouldn't have been thinking about the availability of a handy on site clean up force, if they survived the DH would they?
Gotta love management

Back when I was a FIGJAM of the Caribou I'd make weather like that my bitch!l

LOL...something like this Toss?

Snow bunnies ..... nice .... they would never sleep with me because most women find me repugnant but I could try paying them?

:eek:

Why not Toss, it's worked every other time .

The freezing wx gives you a chance to explain being 'longtitudinally challenged' eh Cap'n Toss?
