US hurricanes may spell cyclone woes for Qld
Weather forecasters say the severe hurricane season being experienced in the United States may point to the return of an active cyclone season along the Queensland coast.
Jeff Callaghan from the Bureau of Meteorology's severe weather section, says the Florida coast has entered a new 20-year generational weather pattern of advanced hurricane activity.
He says Australia's also due for a generational change and expects the region to experience between four and five cyclones in the next season, which starts early next month.
"In any given year we can get between one and two impacts, that means they'll come close enough to cause flooding, or damage, or the like," he said.
EEEEEK!!
