Unless things change drastically, it looks like Monica's over and done with. In the end, even though Darwin was 'hit' (i.e. she passed over us), by the time she reached us she had pretty much blown herself out and was only a tropical low (rain depression). We only suffered some not-so-unusual windy gusts and a lot of rain. Better than the alternative though.
The communities of Maningrida, Milingimbi, Oenpelli, and Jabiru were all affected, and will require assistance with clean up, power/water restoration, rebuilding, etc., but thankfully (and I hope I don't hear otherwise) no one was killed or badly injured.
Let's hope that's an end to it.

Glad to hear that things are back to 'normal' for the time of year.
have checked the track map and it has disappeared as you said it would once the panic was over.
