Guess the max gust before the Hamilton Live Wind Meter decides to cark it.

Don't worry Windpasser he'll go straight thru underneath! Won't even leave a mark.

Slammin, you gonna make it too complicated, I think this is about the max gust only. Also I don't think the weather station will cark it. Who knows?

Meanwhile can I revise my 95 knots to 94 knots max gust?

I'm banking on the over-hyping of the cyclonic winds (230km/h is insane), but the floods could be dangerous. 94 knots is also insane.

Best wishes to the patrons of the cyclone parties, getting pissed may not be the best idea.

Congratulations Buster fin.

I bet you were just joking when you made that call.

Unreal.
