If you know anyone in the area, a good time to check in and ensure that they are preparing.

Expected to hit as a Category 2 cyclone but it could easily change path or intensify. So be mindful and be safe.

A workmate is up there right now in "the thick of it" on a weeks long holiday

 

[rank and file]

They should be fine,I follow some weather nerds on X,they're pretty good.
No hyperbole compared to say Channel 9,7.
They've had journos parked up there for days hoping it hits the resort they are staying in.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Still sounding like Cairns & Port Douglas will be hit worst.

Spread the word to anyone you know up there. Especially if they’ve never experienced a cyclone before.

Well that's my workmate born and bred in Victoria.

IIRC they are not on the coast- they are staying at an Air Bnb more inland. Is that a bit safer, idk.

Probably depends on how far inland. Within 100km and I’d be treating it like they are coastal.

Cyclones normally weaken as they move inland.

Having said that, they are unpredictable Mother Nature’s phenomena.

Well I was completely mistaken they are on the coast.

IIRC there were family they were going to visit that live more inland.

They are at Palm Cove

Been through a few, you'd be surprised how many people have 'Cyclone Parties'.
Not so good for tourists in caravans,backpackers who live in their cars or people who don't have suitable accommodation.

They are at Palm Cove

They could cop the brunt of it,that's 25ks north of Cairns.
Just had a look at US navy site,they're calling the eye crossing the coast 120ks north of Cairns with sustained winds of 110ks and gusts up to 140ks.
Bad news for Palm Cove is the bit that goes over them will be the meanest part of the cyclone.

At least it will be in the daytime,way more scary at night,the noise.

Yep I'm a little worried. But it was their choice to proceed with the holiday, they flew up Saturday knowing full well this was coming. She's due back at work Friday, we'll see if that happens. I'll text her maybe tomorrow night.

They couldn't think of a better name ....really .

A horse next door at our old holiday house was named Jasper. True story

Sit back and enjoy the show,they'll be fine.

They get named in alphabetical order,up to J now,the next one will start with a K and will be a female name and the one after that will start with L and be a male name.
Jasper identifies as a male at the moment.

The people who will be shitting themselves the most are yachties.
All the creeks packed with boats,then when the cyclone blows over and after the big tidal surge
they have to sort their mess out,crocs will be lurking like they've been there forever.
