Even a place like Collinsville would be in trouble getting whacked by a category 2 system after crossing the coast and travelling a while

Headlines of the local Bowen rag yesterday
"We're not pussies , bring it on"
I'd say you are going to get what you asked for and you might regret it
My prayers are with all in the vicinity

Struth, that rag is really testing the wrath of God this time. The very religious Philippines cop super typhoons, earthquakes and volcanoes - so I don't think that prayers help much.
I will refrain from further advising on cyclone as have personally experienced one.

Just saw the Ch9 feed from Bowen and they were interviewing good ol Mike McLean outside the family pub.
Not much has changed, he still isnt the brightest tool in the shed.
Looks pretty bad out there!

Looks like it has slowed right down and may cross the coast about 1pm, which may help with storm surge as it should be almost low tide at least by then…though as happy said the slower it is the more destruction it can cause

They are not expecting it to intensify much further, but the slower it goes means high winds for very long periods.
They are saying the Eye will take 3 hours to pass which is a very long time for locals before the show starts again!

Agreed… I changed my honeymoon in 2011 from Fiji to North Queensland after Yasi to spend our money in the local communities devastated by that cyclone.
If your planning a holiday/getaway, think about spending time up here to help the locals rebuild financially!

They constantly state on Ch 24 that the cyclone will hit at such and such time - but they never say if Qld or NSW time

Its in Qld, so they would be stating the REAL time, not your Mickey Mouse Clock time in NSW!

Really surprised their isn't much more damage , probably lucky they didn't get a direct hit on either Bowen or Airlie
Don't know about you Stryker , can't stand Airlie Beach

Yeah, you could see the disappointment in that ambulance chaser David Koch's face.
I'd been back in the country three hours yesterday morning and I wanted to punch the bejesus out of him. Our flight path was in the vicinity of the storm and we didn't register any turbulence. Copped more flying over Indonesia.

Quote of the Cyclone from local resident being interviewed on Ch7:
“I’ve finally met Debbie. I’ve heard about Debbie doing other things, but now she’s giving Bowen a [This word has been automatically removed]”.
Gotta love the locals attitude and how they take these things in their stride.

Gotta love how the media pounce on a bloke trying to make light of a crap situation and spin it into some controversy.
