Hopefully your weather forecasters are as over-the-top as ours and they are over-stating the problem.

Hopefully.

No mate. That is Queensland, "The Sunshine State" and no I think a Category 5 cyclone is no overstatement. This one, Marcia, made landfall at Yepoon, near Rockhampton where my brother lives. There is another cyclone "Lam" being a nuisance over the Northern Territory eastern islands not as bad because of lower population densities of the Gulf of Carpenteria

Actually, it's about time our cyclone season got started. It's been really slack this year

Tropical storms already over there? In the land of Florida, we have mid forties weather thanks to cold fronts.

Worst case scenario: if the cyclone utterly devastates Queensland, the damage could total as much as six hundred dollars.

The cyclone season is November-April. (Although realistically it's more like December-March).

And please for the love (or lack of) God, use Celsius or kelvin to measure temperature.
