96S - 600 miles from any significant water???!!!

This invest is being followed at the moment, but it's currently situated near Alice Springs, Australia. Thats about as far away from any ocean as you can get in Australia. I was under the impression that interaction with land killed off TC's, rather than gave the conditions to form so whats happening here with 96S.Invest? Has there been precedent for TC's to form over the central Australian Outback before?

Wow! Maybe it's extratropical or nontropical?

I'm pretty sure it is tropical something. But if it is a tropical cyclone then tings are seriously weird going on. Record number of tornadoe's then 4 hurricanes hit Florida. Then 3 tropical cyclones over the south Atlantic over the last 12 months. If this is a tropical cyclone that earth quake did more to our planet then nock it off obit a little. :eek:

Something is not correct. There is no way something tropical could form on land. Someone had to make a major mistake.

No mistake about it. It had been moving southward for the past few days. Fear not, however, as NRL has removed this suspect area.
