Yep, but the last one of this intensity was 70 years ago.The last tropical cyclone to make landfall in the region was ex-Tropical Cyclone Zoe in 1974, half a century ago.

I remember years ago going with a friend to his mums house in Oxley ( South Brisbane ) and we were standing on the front porch waiting for her to answer the door.Yep, but the last one of this intensity was 70 years ago.
Stay safe buddyI'm further south near Coffs and it's been pissing down but with minimal wind. Having lived through Cyclone Bola as a kid you have to be prepared or you get into trouble.
Flooding will occur in our local rivers which is a common occurrence here albeit not from cyclones. Stay safe everyone. Look after yourself and check on your neighbours.
See you on the other side
We are on high ground and are all set. Wind gusts are our least favourite experience for us.Stay safe buddy
Bowraville - is that where Greg Inglis is from ?Flooding as far south as Macksville and Bowraville and it's pissing down heavily enough to raise the rivers in my area (Kalang, Bellingen, Nambucca) which are all flood prone. But flooding is par for the course here. It's the evacuation stage for Bowraville and Macksville and we are yonks away from Straddy and Byron etc.
Also another issue to be aware of is erosion
Yep G.I was born there I think. The place has an unsolved historic multiple murder I think. Or missing children.Bowraville - is that where Greg Inglis is from ?
I went there once place had a bad feel about it.
Macksville and Bellingen are just so low lying and right on the river.
Ballina is having issues too.
Completely agree, Certain parts of Oxley, Corinda, Sherwood and most importantly Rocklea almost flood when you take a piss! They are just a couple of Incredibly low lying flood prone pockets of Brisbane.I remember years ago going with a friend to his mums house in Oxley ( South Brisbane ) and we were standing on the front porch waiting for her to answer the door.
He told me that years ago when the flooding came the water was up to a fork way up in a huge tree. I couldn't really believe him until we were inside and he showed me a picture taken looking at the same tree during the flooding. Must have been a terrible time
Hope you're all set. It's wild around the southern sides that's why we are getting rain floods and less wind. The odd power outage but nothing to what the northern rivers and you guys are in for. Stay safeWind gusts during the day, calm AF at night. You wouldn’t know we’re about to get smashed in 24-36 hours
All the best buddyGreat thread to start @~Navigator~
Spent 25yrs in FNQ / Cairns and here in Brissy since 2016. Mrs and I joking it bring our preparation is has become rusty lol.
Hope you’re all well prepped and ready for what comes, sing out in need Whanau - hopefully one of us is able to support.
Take care god bless.
Auckland was hit by the floods on Auckland Anniversary and then Cyclone Gabrielle.Rain - like the Auckland anniversary floods - is not a cyclone.
Gabriel in the Hawkes Bay was a cyclone - very different.

You are fucking bonkers if you buy a home in Brissie and don’t look at the 74 flood mapping.
Again, with the current system brewing stay safe.
Yep it's weird at the moment a few wind gusts yesterday and a bit of drizzle rain that's all we're getting here in the springwood area.Wind gusts during the day, calm AF at night. You wouldn’t know we’re about to get smashed in 24-36 hours
