As all of us up in North QLD know it has been very dry... the majority of the state is in drought. 

It is 12 months to the day since the ex cyclone hit our region so a bit ironic that the news of the next one picks up today. 

Although we do not hope for a cyclone the exciting bit is some rain to give relief to the farmers.... welcome home monsoon. 

Get your emergency kits handy and prepare for the worst but hope for the best.....

Well it's on... the first cyclone watch for the season for QLD... 

so far only a cat 1 or 2 but it is going to be scary for those up north..... 

spare a thought for those in the line of the storm

Are people where you are getting jittery?

"There's a cyclone warning current for every town and city between Port Douglas and Mackay as the huge tropical low barrels towards the coast."

I hope no damage is done from the cyclone and I hope that all of QLD that needs rain gets it.

yes.. even though it is a long way away it was the ex cyclone that turned into a tropical depression that caused us all that grief.... 

People I have spoken to are all on edge.

Not yet... but it still has the same sort of capacity even if it does not officially become a cat 1 cyclone.
