It is incredibly hot here at the moment and because of the standing water around it is also much more humid than it is normally. On top of that we are all bracing for another weather onslaught, none more than Cairns. Cyclones are funny things, just yesterday they were predicting Townsville and now Cairns has been evacuated. They flew out all the patients from Cairns Base Hospital this afternoon and by tomorrow, Cairns will be battened down and will be a ghost town. I hope that they all come through OK. I hope that the families up there can keep dry!
Here is the prediction map. Unfortunately it is huge and they are predicting up to 1.5 metres of rain. Some of that will be felt in places that have not dried out from the last dumping. Again, I hope that they are prepared, and that they get out of it with a few ripped up trees. However, I fear that at Category 4, that will not be the case. Good luck my friends, I will be thinking of you at 1am Thursday morning!
Watching the news reports & thinking of you & all the Australians affected by this cyclone.
