It's not purely savage - because it's BIG - the winds are around 120 Kmh - 150 Kmh in gusts etc... not 380 Kmh...

It's fairly hefty - as in it's not a minor issue - but it's the SHEER SIZE of it...

IF and when it hits land - that is a HUGE cyclone, it will take a long time to pass over and go inland and fizz out - AND it will dump enormous amounts of rain....

One crowd says one thing, another crowd says another thing.... Up to a meter of rain - over the city of Brisbane - and it's the most southerly cyclone to make land fall in decades....

AND it is HUGE.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I measured the cyclone eye by drawing horizontal lines to two towns on the coast, and the found out the north - south distances, and it was 170 Km.

I mean it even looks huge on the satellite images...

But it's HUGE - but not savage, and while 130 Kmh winds are not lacking in power - it's not 280 Kmh... it will take a long time to come inland and cross the shore, and the dissipate inland.

And the main issue is the rainfall - bothe the amount, and the duration of the rainfall.

Making this up - if a regular and similar cyclone dropped rain at say 5 liters per hour, per square meter, for 10 hours, well this will be dumping the same rate of rain for 25 hours.

This appears to be the the main issue.

The ummmm other place I would NOT like to be - is Willis Island - WAY out in the Coral Sea - 450 Km off shore.

Mostly because it occassionally gets run over by a cyclone.... and it's kind of low and in the middle of the HUGE ocean...
