Cyclone hits north Queensland

Today is a very sad day for north Queensland. Why? because there is going to be a cyclone hitting their area.I'm not quite sure why this is happening but the forecast is expecting wind gusts near the centre of up to 275 kilometres per hour.Lots of high tides are also expecting when this is happening the article says 2.5 above normal tides.This is so sad because lots of people are getting told to evacuate from their houses.This cyclone will be the fifth to hit north Queensland I think.The government is urging people to stay indoors before they get hurt.This cyclone is called cyclone debbie I think this cyclone will be a big one because the article says that because this cyclone debbie is so large it could take up 18 hours for the cyclone's core to pass.
