TOP PRIORITY FOR IMMEDIATE BROADCAST
TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVICE NUMBER 15
Issued at 1:49 pm EST on Thursday 30 January 2014
A Cyclone WARNING remains current for coastal and island communities from
Cardwell to St Lawrence extending to adjacent inland areas, including
Collinsville..
At 1:00 pm EST Tropical Cyclone Dylan, Category 1 was estimated to be 235
kilometres northeast of Townsville and 290 kilometres north of Proserpine and
moving west southwest at 14 kilometres per hour towards the coast.
Tropical Cyclone Dylan has formed off the north Queensland coast and is
expected to continue moving in a general southwesterly direction and gradually
intensifying, before crossing the Queensland coast between Lucinda and
Proserpine in the early hours of Friday morning.
The cyclone and a strong ridge of high pressure further south are combining to
generate GALES at times along much of the east coast between Cardwell and St
Lawrence. Winds are expected to increase further between Lucinda and St
Lawrence, particularly about the Central Coast and Whitsundays district, during
the remainder of today and extending to adjacent inland areas on Friday morning
with DAMAGING WIND GUSTS to 120 kilometres per hour possible.
Heavy rain, which may lead to flash flooding, is expected to develop about
coastal and adjacent inland areas of the Herbert and Lower Burdekin and the
Central Coast and Whitsundays districts during today.
Coastal residents between Lucinda and St Lawrence, including Townsville are
specifically warned of the dangerous storm tide, particularly on the high tide
today and on Friday. The sea is likely to rise steadily up to a level well
above the normal tide, with damaging waves and flooding of some low-lying areas
close to the shoreline. People living in areas likely to be affected by this
flooding should take measures to protect their property as much as possible and
be prepared to follow instructions regarding evacuation of the area if advised
to do so by the authorities.
A storm tide is expected between Cardwell and Lucinda, particularly on the high
tide on Thursday and Friday. Large waves may produce minor flooding along the
foreshore. People living in areas likely to be affected by this flooding should
take measures to protect their property as much as possible and be prepared to
help their neighbours.
A separate Severe Weather Warning is current for remaining coastal and island
communities from Cooktown to Cardwell and from St Lawrence to Gladstone.

I'm a cyclone victim before and until now I'm not fully recovered. My life was devastated and I don't know where to start. I hate this stupid life!
