Queensland, the state I live in, is being menaced by a cyclone which is presently a catagory 4 storm.
The scarey thing about this storm is how far south it's come. It's actually only a few hundred kilometres north of where I live. It's probably not going to cross the coast, but considering how unpredictable it's been so far, I don't think anyone is going to stop being on alert till it's completely petered out.
If you're interested, I live just south of Brisbane and you can see the images of the cyclone
here.
