The oh so resilient state of Queensland is once again preparing for another extreme weather event.
Tropical Cyclone Kirrrily has been officially declared a thing, as the huge weather mass moves onto the coast of Queensland.
The cyclone is currently a category one, but is expected to intensify to a category two by Thursday night as it moves to make landfall between Cardwell and Bowen.
Schools have been closed, flights have been cancelled and residents and holiday makers have been told to batten down the hatches as Kirrily descends upon them.
Given the long history of Queenslanders dealing with these sorts of things, those in the course of Kirrily were told this week to go out and get a few supplies for the next few days and be smart ahead of a potential clean up effort.
And that was exactly what Ayr man Johnathan Morgan did early yesterday afternoon.
“Yeah, got enough drinking water for the next couple of days,” winked the local sparky, slapping the 10 cartoons of hydrating liquid for him and his loved ones.
“More hydrating than water really.”
“Hopefully she doesn’t last too much longer than Saturday haha”
“Otherwise I might have to make a mad scramble for it.”
“Anyway, I’ve sorted out food too,” he continued opening up an esky filled with roughly 10k kilos of meat and a few loaves of white bread.
“Fingers crossed it’s not a big one.”
More to come.
