Severe Tropical Cyclone Narelle has turned into a very angry swirl, currently a Category 5 on the Australian Scale [Category 4 Major Hurricane Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale], and still intensifying, 315km/h or 195mph gusts are likely in the eyewall, the up side is that region of Queensland is more sparsely populated [and actually falls outside our chase territory if it was south of Port Douglas we would have absolutely chased this one], but for the few towns in that region its gonna be a rough night as early morning landfall still looks like what the models have been showing, and its been rather consistant with lining up with models - Nightmare Typhie
