Yeah - I don't know what the Queenslanders have done to anger the weather gods but, after this hits, virtually the whole state will have suffered some sort of major flooding and storm damage in the last month. Apart from the wind strength, the cyclone is expected to cross the coast coinciding with high tide. I'm not aware of any PDMLers directly in the path of Yasi - both John and Tan are well south.
