There is always some uncertainty associated with tropical cyclone forecasting and the grey zone indicates the range of likely tracks.
Due to the uncertainty in the future movement, the indicated winds will almost certainly extend to regions outside the rings on this map. The extent of the warning & watch zones reflects this.

Remarks:
Severe Tropical Cyclone Hamish is expected to continue moving south to southeast parallel to the coast.

Damaging wind gusts may affect coastal and island communities between Lucinda and St Lawrence during the next 24 hours.

DESTRUCTIVE WINDS may affect coastal and island communities between Ayr and St Lawrence (including the Whitsunday islands) early on Sunday morning.

Damaging wind gusts may develop about coastal and island communities between St Lawrence and Hervey Bay (including Heron Island) within 24 to 48 hours.

As the cyclone moves southward and deepens overnight, sea levels are expected to be elevated above the normal tide along the coastline south of the cyclone. Large waves may produce minor flooding along the foreshore. People living in areas likely to be affected by this flooding should take measures to protect their property as much as possible and be prepared to help their neighbours.

Areas of heavy rainfall may cause flooding in some coastal streams and rivers between Townsville and Mackay during the next 24 hours.
People between Lucinda and St Lawrence should immediately commence or continue preparations, especially securing boats and property.

People between St Lawrence and Hervey Bay should consider what action they will need to take if the cyclone threat increases. If you are unsure about the actions to be taken, information is available from your local government or local State Emergency Service.

Cyclone Warning between Innisfail and Lucinda has been CANCELLED.

That big white thing is the front of the cyclone. (http://mirror.bom.gov.au/products/IDR223.loop.shtml)

Oh good, another flood (a lot of people I know are still repairing after the last one :v:).
It was pissing down about 30 minutes ago, but it's calmed down for now.

PS: I live in Mackay.

Little update: the cyclone's probably going to pass by at around 11 tonight (hightide :v:), so if it keeps up like this, a lot of the town will probably be flooded come monday (I had a party this weekend too :().

[Needles]

I remember when a hurricane hit Florida, think it was Gustav. Strangely, all the cities around us had flooding, but The Longwood/Lake Mary area was pretty fine, not even a power outage at my house.

[Chorus]
She moves her body like a cyclone
And she makes me wanna do it all night long
Going hard when they turn the spotlights on
Because she moves her body like a cyclone
Just like a cyclone

She moves her body like a cyclone
And she makes me wanna do it all night long
Going hard when they turn the spotlights on
Because she moves her body like a cyclone
A mighty cyclone

Now look at that peppa'
On the back of that bumpa'
She aint even playin
When she's shakin that ruppa'
And oh, you aint know?
She gets lower than a muffla'
Even with her girlfriends
Show stopping with a hustla'

The way she move her body
She might see the Maserati
She wanna put it on me
Tryna show me her tsunami
She make it hard to copy
Always tight, never sloppy
And got an entourage
And her own paparazzi

Now there she go again
Ridin through the stormy weatha'
You betta button up
If you wanna go get her
Cause it is what it is
Errybody wanna love her
But when she pop it boy
You better run for cover

[Chorus]
She moves her body like a cyclone
And she makes me wanna do it all night long
Going hard when they turn the spotlights on
Because she moves her body like a cyclone
Just like a cyclone

She moves her body like a cyclone
And she makes me wanna do it all night long
Going hard when they turn the spotlights on
Because she moves her body like a cyclone
A mighty cyclone

(It's a wrap) gotta get that phatty like a boss tycoon
(It's a wrap) now hold it steady cause she make a monsoon
(It's a wrap) now you can Google, download the iTunes

See what I'm sayin
She aint playin
Yeah, she got them heads turnin
You gon' hear it clack, clack
When them heels get to burnin
Stiletto so fuego
She got her own label
And got us all doin the tornado

[Chorus]
She moves her body like a cyclone
And she makes me wanna do it all night long
Going hard when they turn the spotlights on
Because she moves her body like a cyclone
Just like a cyclone

She moves her body like a cyclone
And she makes me wanna do it all night long
Going hard when they turn the spotlights on
Because she moves her body like a cyclone
A mighty cyclone

Shawty got looks (and)
Shawty got class
Shawty got hips (and)
Shawty got ass
When she hit the stage
She drop it down low, like
Eer reer reer reer reer reer reer reer reer

Ay

It's amazing
It must be the way of the lady
Eer reer reer reer reer reer reer reer reer

[Chorus]
She moves her body like a cyclone
And she makes me wanna do it all night long
Going hard when they turn the spotlights on
Because she moves her body like a cyclone
Just like a cyclone

She moves her body like a cyclone
And she makes me wanna do it all night long
Going hard when they turn the spotlights on
Because she moves her body like a cyclone
A mighty cyclone

Eer reer reer reer reer reer reer reer reer
Eer reer reer reer reer reer reer reer reer
Eer reer reer reer reer reer reer reer reer
Reer
Hope you'll be able to regenerate your ravaged, scattered body n00b!
