It certainly looks frightening from the coverage here in New Zealand. Not something I'd want to experience.

Hunker down and stay as safe as you all can. Good luck. Am thinking of you.... which is bugger all help, I know.

I shall be watching the news tonight, they reckon this will be the worst Australia has ever seen.
Door knocking has been done in places likely to be hit by the storm surge, and mandatory evacuations were possible. There are Disaster Declarations in place which means the police have the power to order people to leave - as in some of the flood zones recently (Condamine, Theodore etc).
Anyone who has stayed in their homes even outside the expected storm surge zone is now advised to "shelter in place".
