Residents are on cyclone watch as wild weather has already left streets flooded and highways gridlocked as concerned residents look to flee north Queensland in droves. A tropical low approximately 215km east of Innisfail, south of Cairns, has triggered an urgent warning, with ferocious winds of up to 100km/h predicted on Tuesday afternoon. Areas expected to hardest hit include coastal and island locations between Cape Flattery and Lucinda, including Port Douglas and Innisfail, according to the Cairns Post. 'People in these areas should consider what action they will need to take if the cyclone threat increases,' the Bureau of Meteorology said in a statement.
