LOL, Eric! Thanks for the link.

Nothing to laugh about, obviously, for the people affected by the approaching cyclone.

Re: Alfred

Sorry, you've now been degraded to a tropical low and are referred to as "Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred".

I wonder who picks the names for these extreme weather events?  This Australian site is interesting https://www.racv.com.au/royalauto/news/ … names.html

Re: Alfred

Thanks for the update, Eric, and thanks for the link! I love this:

In the mid-1890s, Queensland meteorologist Clement Wragge began naming tropical cyclones in alphabetical order, using the Greek alphabet, mythological characters, and finally, politicians who annoyed him.
