The Australian cyclone season this year has been very quiet, and was supposed to be over April 30.
Never mind. Cyclone Pierre has other ideas.
This storm is now heading towards the populous Queensland region, and forecast to intensify slowly but steadily at this point. It bears serious watching.....

If it hits around Cooktown, that is not really a populous region. But if it hits Cairns or south, there is a substantial population.
Gotcha...I guess I just meant populous by comparison with northwestern Australia where a lot of cyclones strike.....
