Crazy part about this is we'll start to ignore the warnings waiting for them to be cancelled. The smart people pay attention while the ignorant just couldn't GAF.

Always windy somewhere. Interestingly there's a very small low pressure off the Kimberley coast. They'd have to be keeping an eye on it to see if it's got potential to become something bigger.

True that! One of my good mates was the State Duty Officer for Vicses the other weekend when we were supposed to get smashed.. Bom was all excited about the weather but just couldn't work out when or when.... It's such a hard one we're damned if we don't give warnings and an area gets smashed and damned if we give out warnings and they get Bugger all weather... Community expectation is fairly high that they will be told what to do.  One of the biggest focus for all emergency agencies in Vic is Community Resilience, preventative before response.... Anyway let's see what we get..
