robbo_rb180 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 i don't see what the problem is, they always miss us cruise down south is a good idea though Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/352338-cyclone-yasi/#findComment-5649530 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PM-R33 Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 I've never really been through a proper cyclone so I don't really know what to expect. However seeing what Larry did on the news a few years back makes me wonder...

89CAL Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Pretty serious here in mackay. Everyone is getting txt messages to move to higher ground (but I think it's the same everywhere between cairns and yepoon). Pretty wild stuff, here's the evacuation zone for mackay Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/352338-cyclone-yasi/#findComment-5649577 Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 This new cyclone is supposed to be worse then Larry isn't it ? Did anyone see the news about Wivenhoe dam possibly being emptied to half of its drinking capacity, just in case this new cyclone dumps a butt load of rain in the catchment? If they do and it doesn't then we'll be back in drought worse then before this latest flood.

Smity42 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 This new cyclone is supposed to be worse then Larry isn't it ? And it's not even 2012 yet... Did anyone see the news about Wivenhoe dam possibly being emptied to half of its drinking capacity, just in case this new cyclone dumps a butt load of rain in the catchment? If they do and it doesn't then we'll be back in drought worse then before this latest flood. I had heard that, didn't know they were going to drop it to half though... that seems pretty stupid. Thats the problem with dams trying to do water storage AND flood mitigation though.

PM-R33 Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Lol f**k up! Guys. I have some "off the book" info. Can't give to many specifics in case I get in shit but the source is up there. But it looks like it will be a category 5 with mass evacuations. Worse cyclone in QLD history, comparing it to TC Tracy. Twice as wide as TC Larry. Expecting it to hit near Townsville with massive evacuations. I don't know what to do? I have mates fueling their cars up and heading to Brisbane. I think shit just got real!

89CAL Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 It's a very real option Phil. ATM I think it will hit a bit lower then Townsville but that's just a gut feeling I have for some reason...... I've heard basically what you just said from someone else. You people with your inside info I'm on night shift this week so if I do happen to work tomorrow night I'll probably be seeing the early signs on my way home. If you feel unsafe where you live then I wouldn't lane you for packing up and running south...... Just remember it could go down that way as well yet, although I don't think it will Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/352338-cyclone-yasi/#findComment-5649773 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyWhoCriedWolf Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDQ65002.shtml BoM say a hit just below Cairns. http://www.tropicalstormrisk.com/ TSR say the same, which doesnt happen often.

chrisR34GTT Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Not only do we have the cyclone to contend with, there is the possible 4m tidal surge and 1m of terrential flooding FML.

89CAL Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 its all well and good to say "just head south" but theres alot of things to think about. I have it pretty lucky, being a fair bit south of the centre of where the cyclone is expected to hit, and being in a relatively new house in a fairly safe part of town Its saving me from having to worry about evacuating. I dont envy Phil's position at all or anyone else up north, Its not looking good is there anymore on your reliable source saying it will be a CAT 5 Phil? Ive heard similar reports from someone else, but I'm not sure where you are getting it from lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/352338-cyclone-yasi/#findComment-5650491 Share on other sites More sharing options...
