the interesting thing sausage is if you expand your search to include hybrid lows the number will tripple....
in SEQ other than the cyclones that have hit in the past we have had a very large number of hybrid lows of cyclone intensity.
plus my favourite storm the east coast low.
They've moved the track south....that wasn't supposed to happen!!
So the shade sails are down (4 cover an area of 17m x 10m and a redundant broadband dish has been removed from the roof). To board or not to board...up the louvers, that is the question.
i'd board the louvres,
they most likely weren't designed to take a cat 2 cyclone. even if they don't break they will let in water.
this page will help you keep track of things.

Well the hosue is boarded up and one outdoor table in th pool. The wind is starting to build but I think we are pretty well prepared - we have the hand up to stop the cycone in the picture
The cars are in the neighbours garage as I don't trust my dodgey looking shed (very convienitent that they are travelling around Australia right now and my windsurfing gear is tucked in nicely behind the couch in the lounge room.
Mackay radar is showing it due east of bowen and you guys are coping its crap in mackay, best of luck to all between mackay and bowen and hang on.
Good luck to all you guys and gals up that way in the cyclone's path!
Not a nice place to be.
Hope to hear from you all tomorrow and that no damage or loss occurs.
Lost power and internet until this afternoon. Still waiting for (Virgin) mobile coverage to come back. No damage at all here. My yard was a big puddle this morning but that has mostly soaked in now. Lots of branches down the street. Hope everyone else came out unscathed!
How was the wind in Bowen wormy? You were a bit closer to the action.
Powers still out at Sarina Beach, no playstation today kids !!
I'd guess Wormy's is too, you city guys Squiddy get all the attention
should have gone to Hamilton Island NotWal, was gusting over 100 knots last night [}:)]
Hope you get your power back soon sailpilot. You would have had a good view from your place!!
