Not watering down the potential impact of Cyclone Jasper, but my eldest grand daughter the vet, who did uni JCU at Townsville for 5 years on site and worked there as a mobile vet for 2.5 years, told me me the locals up there are quite complacent re cyclone warnings, she went through half a dozen warnings.
She is now working in Armidale NSW, in her own mobile vet business. I hope this complacency does not impact on the locals in FNQ. Batten down the hatches
