this is bad ... and certainly any cyclone activity in the north of queensland couldnt come at worse time.
hopefully the worst of it can stay in the coral sea and not come towards the east coast.
But they said 1893 was 2 seperate 8m floods in the same summer, history repeats ?
That may only be the encore.Let's hope this one just dies off and goes away, it could be the last straw for many in Agriculture up this way.
Yeah good. Love the intensity of a cyclone.That may only be the encore.
A second one might cross the Central Queensland coast late next week with all the trimmings.
Let's hope this one just dies off and goes away, it could be the last straw for many in Agriculture up this way.

Thinking of all of you up there in FNQ. Hope it turns tail in fear of you and goes back out to sea.
Expected as a catagory 2 when it hits the coast, it's towards the lower end of the intensity scale. Standard fare for that part of the world in terms of tropical cyclones.
The one modelled for mid/late in the week is potentially of far greater scale.
Thinking of all of you up there in FNQ. Hope it turns tail in fear of you and goes back out to sea.
If that numerical weather model is correct, that system will take the monsoon inland with it bringing another burst of heavy rain to the interior and possibly, large parts of southeastern Australia.Agree, it sounds like a whopper!.

That's so true. It's a point Bob Katter made on the 7.30 Report recently when he was arguing for a permanent disaster fund. He says, quite correctly, that up to now FNQ has been left to pretty much fend for itself amongst cyclones and floods, and only now that the capital city of Brisbane has been affected is there any actual concern shown by State and Federal governments. He makes a very good case for a permanent fund to be set up. If it ever happens, I'd hope there will be some very strong safeguards to prevent it being siphoned into consolidated revenue whenever the profligate feds run out of bribe money next.This +1. People up there do it very tough in general, they seem like there constantly year after year bombarded with weather like this. It would be nice if the wheather gave them a reprieve every now and then.
