OMG - we've had plenty of "big blows" in FNQ.
Last one to cause a major loss of life was in the 1880's.

So rather than panic, sorry plan, we'll tough it out like FNQ'ers do.

Cyclone Mahina, which struck the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland, Australia, on March 4, 1899.
This cyclone is considered the deadliest in Australian history and potentially the most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded in the Southern Hemisphere¹ ².
Cyclone Mahina caused catastrophic damage, particularly to a pearling fleet anchored at Bathurst Bay, FNQ.
The storm’s combination of powerful winds and an enormous storm surge led to the deaths of over 300 people, many of whom were divers and seamen from South-East Asia, the Torres Strait, and Pacific islands¹ ³.
The storm surge was so intense that it reportedly threw porpoises onto cliffs and washed away horses from high ridges².
