From what I saw on the news, there are a lot of frightened people gathered in shelters waiting it out. There was one town (forget which) where only
the school building was built to withstand a class 5 cyclone and everybody's in it. It's a massively bigger cyclone than Tracy -which flattened
Darwin and killed 60. Let's hope because it's so big, the winds will be more spread out and less severe. We'll know soon enough.
