Been thinking a lot about friends and family there. It's looking very serious and worse than the usual floods and ex cyclones/tropical lows they get there. They haven't had a real cyclone hit them bang on since what, 1974? They're not as used to this as FNQ or the Pacific islands but I hope there won't be any deaths at least.
Huge population growth since then, lots more people at risk of being affected now.
