What a fizzer highest official wind speed I’m Townsville region was 107 km/h @ Alva beach south of Townsville. Townsville itself didn’t even reach 100 km/h despite some flog on channel 7 saying 155 km/h bullshit. Bom need to be sacked barely a cat 1 and they had it as a cat 3 right up until crossing.

This is a joke, some people in Townsville carrying on like they were experience cat 5 on Facebook cringe worthy. Mate down in Tassie I have been there many times my wife is from there I have experienced legit 156km/h winds there measured at bureau sites. Winds over 100 km/h are not uncommon at all down there they don’t even call it anything just a front or whatever coming through no one bats an eye lid. Have a look throughout the year at matsauker island station which is a light house only just few hundred metres off the south coast of tassie now that is a windy place cyclone strength winds frequently.

These cat 1 and 2 up here are a joke the amount of drama and carry on, cat 3 and up are the real deal.
