People living along the coast of far north Queensland have been waiting nervously for the category-five cyclone Ingrid heading their way.
Now downgraded to category four Tropical Cyclone Ingrid crossed the far north Queensland coast in a remote area south of Lockhart River.The cyclone has winds of around 230kph and is accompanied by a storm surge of around two metres on top of rising tides that will inundate low lying areas.
Meanwhile those of us who live in South Australia swelter in the heat. I was in Port Pirie the other day and it was around 42-45 degrees with a strong, hot north wind blowing. That is also life-threatening weather.
