Oh no!

This is a screenshot from the latest warning of the Bureau of Meteorology showing the current position and predicted tracking of Tropical Cyclone Alfred which is off the southern Queensland coast, and you might say, inexplicably is predicted to make a sharp right hand turn towards the coast off the South East Queensland or Northern New South Wales. We are now all on alert.

 

What it's come all the way from way out in the Coral Sea, down the coast and then it decides to tour the Outback by turning west at this spot!!! That's Brisbane right under the last 2.

 

Cyclones usually impact North Queensland and its large cities with devastating results and also hit northern Western Australia. Equivalent to the Northern Hemisphere's Hurricanes and Typhoons they are utterly frightening with their terrible winds, flooding and untold destruction. So now we will be waiting over the next week to see what Alfred does.
