Roofs are lifting and some 25,000 people have already evacuated from Queensland due to the severe weather conditions, where a tidal surge of up to 2 meters is expected.

To keep the Queensland residents safe, a flood warning for the Proserpine River Bowen’s Don River and a Pioneer River in Mackay has been issued.

Up to 500 millimeters of rain could fall before the cyclone passes Queensland. The skies are expected to clear by Wednesday.
