I wish Australia would issue their advices even when a cyclone is no threat to land. Ophelia is close to northwest Australia, and they have discontinued advices unless she makes a move back toward the coast.

Interesting. I always wondered why they never did this. It probably takes 2 minutes to do as it is just the same template.
