re: #298 allegro

Indeed. If anything the news networks exaggerate the threat (see: Rita). We will have flooding, that’s a given. A lot of people in flood-prone areas are going to have a miserable weekend and a few morons are going to Darwin themselves. Happens every time. Otherwise, if the current path holds, there is no reason to freak.

On the other hand, they’re now saying the storm might actually move inland and then retrograde to pick up some strength and additional moisture to dump on what will be an already very, very wet area. Might not happen, but I’d suggest a lot of caution.
