They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old

Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn

At the going down of the sun,
and in the morning

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM
LEAST WE FORGET

Please be aware and prepared for the weather from Friday!

WA… this one’s really ramping up 😲🌪️

Cyclone Narelle is now a Category 2 system, tracking fast west-southwest offshore along the Pilbara coast towards Exmouth.

The Bureau says Narelle is a large system and is expected to intensify to a Category 3 overnight before turning south and potentially strengthening further to a Category 4 on Thursday, ahead of passing the North West Cape (including Exmouth) on Friday.

But Narelle’s exact path and intensity at crossing remain uncertain, with the system potentially crossing anywhere from Exmouth as a Category 4 to as far south as Jurien Bay as a Category 2.

Impacts are starting to build, with gales along the Pilbara coast and the potential for severe impacts along the far western Pilbara coast late Thursday, extending south towards Denham as the system turns on Friday, along with dangerous storm tide between Exmouth and Denham bringing large waves, coastal erosion and flooding of low-lying areas.

From Saturday, Narelle is expected to move south-southeast, spreading heavy rain and stormy conditions through the Central West, including Perth, with the potential for damaging winds, and further inland and south across the South West Land Division.

One thing’s for sure… now is the time to prepare:
✅ Review your emergency plan
✅ Pack an emergency kit including a portable battery-operated radio, torch, spare batteries, mobile phone and charger, first aid kit, prescription medication and enough food and water for 5–7 days - pets included 🐶
✅ Secure loose items around your property – tie down trampolines so they don’t end up in your neighbour’s yard 🤦‍♂️
✅ Travellers and tourists – reconsider travel to the warning area

And do emergency services a favour will ya... stay well clear of floodwaters! Even if you think your trusty 4WD can handle it, it’s not worth the risk 🚙
