Watch out Brisbane - this year is the warning

Acapulco - a city of 1 million people . Direct hit Category 5.

Imagine this in Brisbane with all the old houses. Cut off, not enough builders.

What a disaster waiting. The waters are warming, the danger is here.

“A monster Category 5 hurricane has hit the Mexican resort of Acapulco. It came as a surprise to the city of 1 million people. It intensified from a tropical storm to a top-of-the-scale hurricane in just hours. Roads in and out were destroyed. Phone and internet service have been cut off. NPR's Eyder Peralta is on the line from his base in Mexico City. And, Eyder, it sounds like a mess. How much damage has this hurricane caused?

EYDER PERALTA, BYLINE: Yeah. I mean, I wish we knew more. We don't know a whole lot because, as you mentioned, internet and phone lines are off. And even the president today said that the government had no way to know the extent of the damage.”

During an El Niño the waters off Australia get colder, so there’s less moisture in the air, less average rainfall and a greater chance of hot temperatures and, potentially, fires.
