It has to do something drastic because it is travelling at 7 km/h and has 690 Kilometres to reach where it is predicted to cross so that equates to 98 hours or approx 4 days. If it turns into a cyclone then it has to get going at an incredible speed to cross .

It is predicted to cross in 39 hours. So it will have to travel at 18 hours Km/h from now to reach its forecast crossing.

I know once they form and get the right steering winds they will move quickly. But still have to see what happens.

They are throwing all sorts of numbers up for rain down here. 1.2 meters to 1.4 meters. While WATL has about 100mm . No one knows for sure what will happen.

Hollywood Higgins is going for catastrophically biblical floods and telling his followers that the cyclone was going to form on last Sunday afternoon. Glad I don’t pay for that rubbish.

But a slow moving rain depression is a worry even if it crossed as a cyclone.

You guys up North coped a monumental amounts of rain. That is the worry for Townsville, inland and South of those areas or if it was to move North. ???
