A little storm

[yubbywelch]

(Well that's an understatement) is brewing at the top of Queensland, a category 5 cyclone almost on the coast, its high enough not to do toooooo much damage, but hopefully a depression can form after wards an send some rain to our farmers out west.

It crossed the coastline as a cat4 last night, all reports so far are good due to the Low level population where it crossed, close to Cairns now, and has just been downgraded to a lvl 1.

Sadly though, it looks like staying coastal, so ending up as a depression out west very unlikely. :(

Good that it wasn't as bad as first feared, and no lives lost, from what I've seen but not so good for your drought ridden farmers if rain doesn't happen. Looks like things are really tough for them from what I've been reading...
