Storm Surge/Cyclone
Darn these inconvenient massive weather events. Here I was, thinking: "That whole Innisfail region has had a couple of years to recover from the last cyclone, it's probably a good time to go up for a bit of a field trip. I can take a look at the local museums and libraries, figure out exactly how to pronounce Mourilyan, take some pictures and footage I could use for projections..."
And then we go and get ourselves a massive cyclone that is going to cause storm surges all up the coast of northern Queensland, and probably make landfall between Cairns and Innisfail. And, of course, we all know that the areas south of the cyclone get the worst winds and rain.
I'm still hoping to get up there around Easter-ish, but I was hoping to see the place in it's non-weather-ravaged form. It's bad enough that the historic sugar mill at Mourilyan was so badly damaged during the last cyclone that it stopped functioning.
Weather! Stop making a mess of things!
