Back to EpisodesCyclone Maila: Queensland Braces for Round Two
Description
Queensland braces for Severe Tropical Cyclone Maila, potentially hitting Cape York over the weekend, after Severe Tropical Cyclone Narelles devastating impact. Maila, which looped between Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, is expected to swing south-west and aim for Queensland. Officials warn of uncertainty, with Maila potentially clipping Cape York again, veering south toward Cairns or Townsville, or even missing land. Forecasters predict Maila could reach category four strength with winds up to 199 km/h before dropping back to category three. Warm ocean waters are fueling Maila, similar to the 2014 cyclone Ita. Residents are advised to stay tuned for updates as the situation unfolds over the next few days.
