"This is a very, very big storm event," Ms Bligh told ABC radio before heading into the meeting, where the issue of compulsory evacuations would be considered.

Certainly looks like it. Glad I'm not over there. We had one down the west coast last week which luckily rolled right on past and ended up bringing only a bit of rain to the very south western tip. Was very humid for a few days. Would have liked more rain and we were told to batten down but nothing much came of it. This one on the other hand looks like it's going to plow straight through Cairns.
