Cyclone Steve

Although Steve is only ever been as high as Category Two, as far as I know, it's the longest living cyclone ever seen in the southern Hemisphere and it's dropped the most rain for a single cyclone.
It started off as a tropical low near North Queensland, took a tour of the top of Australia, going past the northen area of the Northern Territory and the reforming again just North of Broome as a category 1 cyclone.
The damage from Steve has been very minimal but it's the amount of rain it has dropped in the time it's been active that is the biggest thing !
Floods in QLd for several weeks, Northern Territory got a really good dose of rain and the Kimberly and Pilbara region of Norht Western Australia were also flooded and town isolated by road for a week or so. The Gascoyne area of Western Australia is suspected to have a lot of rain dumped on it and possibly have some river flooding also.
The Gascoyne region of WA has the least amount of rain on average for the whole state and it's something BIG when the Gascoyne river at Carnarvon flows !
As you can see from this image, the cyclone crossed the WA coast at Onslow...but it wouldna done much damage, just dropped a LOT of rain !
