Thanks Malcolm. No need to be scared, just aware that severe weather from these types of systems can be dangerous in certain areas. If people use common sense you will be fine.

๐ŸŒ€๐ŸŒ€EAST COAST LOW๐ŸŒ€๐ŸŒ€ Lots of chat about "Bomb Cyclone" being a "media beat up." It's an official meteorological term used when the process of "Bombogenesis" occurs with a mid-latitude low. Meaning: the low drops a required 15hPa within 24 hours at this latitude. 10 News

๐ŸŒ€๐ŸŒ€Update - NOT an East Coast Low๐ŸŒ€๐ŸŒ€ Different lows have different criteria's that need to be filled. For an ECL, one of those criteria's is that it is has a strong easterly wind direction with large amounts of moisture. This low has a large SSW wind direction. 10 News

In saying that, it is still a vigorous low pressure system capable of producing the same weather as an "East Coast Low." Yes, it's technical & confusing but the main message is that it is still capable of producing dangerous weather. 10 News

The vigorous low pressure system continues to churn up off the NSW coast. 133 km/h winds have been recorded, along with rain rates of 80mm+ falling in 6 hour periods. Itโ€™s a fluid situation that is still dangerous, take care today. 10 News

Accurate weather forecasting, warnings & expert media explanations are needed now more than ever in our changing global climate. Processional & accurate meteorological communication to the public via the media is now paramount for the public understanding any risk. 10 News

Well said Matthew Cappucci I think, I even heard someone on Australian radio say "geo-engineering" was responsible for this tragedy. You only need a very basic understanding of the atmosphere to understand how insane that premise is.

A "Cut-Off Low" will drive damaging winds & rain across southern Australia during the next 48 hours. This upper level low (left) illustrated on the 500hPa chart (about 5.5km up from the Earth's surface) will also drive rainfall across drought affected areas (right). 10 News
