Port Douglas is a very low lying area. Lets hope this hurricane doesn't get too close or it'll effect 90% of inhabitants imho.
Lockhart River to Port Douglas
Watch Area: Across Cape York Peninsula to the eastern Gulf of Carpentaria between the mouth of the Gilbert River and Aurukun
Location: 14.0S 146.5E
Recent Movement: W at 8 km/h
Remarks: Gales are expected to develop between Cape Melville and Port Douglas early
Wednesday morning. Destructive winds are likely between Cape Melville and Cape
Tribulation later in the morning. The very destructive core of the cyclone is
expected near the coast between Cape Melville and Cooktown late Wednesday
afternoon.
Coastal residents between Cape Melville and Cape Tribulation are specifically
warned of the dangerous storm tide as the cyclone crosses the coast late
Wednesday afternoon. The sea is likely to rise steadily to a level significantly
above the highest tides of the year with damaging waves, strong currents and
flooding of low-lying areas extending some way inland. People living in areas
likely to be affected by this flooding should be prepared to evacuate if advised
to do so.
