Figured we could do with a thread now that she’s official.
As an aside, I have never met a Kirrily outside a healthcare setting.
It looks like Tamb will be ok.

Yeah, we are about 1000 km south of Townsville.
Tamb’ll be safe (provided he keeps away from the creek). I imagine he has rain bucketing down and no satellite internet connection due to thick cloud cover.

Now Cat 3.
My rellos have all stocked up on cans and so forth.
Looks like it might cross at 11, be closest to Tsv around 10.

Good-oh. Let’s hope that they stay safe.
Rain on the Hervey Range (Townsville) 512 km composite radar.

She’s crossed the coast about an hour ago, winds in Townsville around 60 km/h, gusts around 100 … not too bad. Seems worse in Ingham.

No wind. 67mm rain overnight so just a normal wet season day.
Stay safe people. Praying for you
Looks not too bad. No deaths, “light infrastructure damage”, power grid should be fully back on by Sunday.

Seems good.
Not like WA, some small town in the wheatbelt still without power eight days after the storms hit. Goldfields still running on emergency power and not connected back up to the grid.
Seems my brother and sisters and nieces and nephews are fine but without electricity

Good.
I’ve never met anyone called Kirrily and I think it has to be considered a rare name. (There’s a retired tennis player called Kirrily Sharpe. ) Various online sources suggest it is either a Maori word or a word from an aboriginal language (never specifying which), meaning birdsong or bark or leaf or maybe from Gaelic “Caoirríanna” or perhaps just an alteration of Kerry-Lee…
I haven’t seen any suggestion that it is related to the Eastern European forms like Kirili, or Greek Kirill, even though they seem like more obvious candidates.
Anyway, given that it’s such an obscure name, it’s weird that there have been four Australian-zone cyclones called Kirrily.

A colleague of mine has a daughter named Kirrily.
Conspiracy theory
The north eastern coast of Australia is going to see more cyclones this year
This seems like a trend
