Water vapour image at 1702.
Interesting how big this system is getting. A lot of moisture can be seen from the water vapour and the severity of the Cyclone. Unfortunately you would expect wide spread flooding right through to Mt Isa and into the NT.
Townsville and surrounding areas are going to be in for a very rough evening/night. Some very strong wind gust already recorded. Still no wall eye development can be seen on the satellite imagery at this point in time.

Wave heights to 20 feet and wind gusts to 175km/h.
