As far as cyclones go, this one (Debbie) is a very nicely formed one. She's gonna get rough!

Debbie would have to be one of the least terrifying cyclone names I've ever heard.

[The Dice Man]

Ive been to the Whitsundays before. It could have BEEN ME!

 

[rdhopkins2]

May hit land around Bowen around 8am tomorrow.

Fingers crossed it crosses over an unpopulated area and causes as little damage as possible.

 

[Off The Couch]

Got a friend in Townsville - fingers crossed

Will the Sunrise team be there live.

Will the Sunrise team be there live.

Yes

I always remember the look of absolute disappointment on the faces of all the media types and the disappointed tones in their voices when Yasi didn't smash into Cairns as predicted.

Maggots.

But the potential for Debbie does jokes is massive

Nothing like a natural disaster for cheap footage, and plenty of human interest stories.

 

[rippersnipper]

Why the **** are the media allowed in during stuff like this? Let's kick people out because we fear for their safety but kochie and his sunrise pals can come in and do whatever they want. "You want to stand on that balcony in the middle of the cyclone Kochie?" "Yeah, that should get a shitload of viewers, great idea Jeff"

You just know media outlets are stroking it with every increase in wind gust speed, praying to god it reaches a Category 5 at which time they'll release their combined jizz all over our screens with headlines including "authorities FEAR THE WORST" or "DEATH TOLL set to increase" etc etc.

 

[Plugger35]

Yeah you always get the sense that the media are hoping for the maximum destruction and a big death toll as it makes for a more dramatic news story.

There is a Dallas in Victoria but I don't think Debbie will be travelling that far South unfortunately.

Little weird to name a cyclone after an Architecture in Helsinki song.
