Well, the "Fat Lady" is now singing, Olga is crossing the coast at this moment and will soon be carrying her legacy inland.

Yesterday, after much procrastination, she moved out into the Gulf of Carpentaria and rapidly intensified. The JTWC in Hawaii got "egg on its face". They had written her off and issued satellite fixes showing her moving well inland. In fact that was when she was moving out to sea. This was surprising because you could see her position on the weather radar.

She couldn't manage ro move further out (northwards) and hit Mornington Island during the night. But now she's on the coast between Normanton and Burketown, then swinging southwards on a path through the drought stricken areas. Hopefully she'll be carrying a lot of rain with her. Cyclones are nature's way of distributing humidity/rain into the temperate regions.
