Wild weather on the way for Queenslanders

A Bureau of Meteorology radar image shows Cyclone Oma on Wednesday night on a path for southeast Queensland. 

Cyclone Oma may still cause havoc for Queenslanders, with no one sure of where it will strike.

Cities and towns from the Gold Coast to Bundaberg could be impacted, with the possibility Oma could linger off the Sunshine Coast for days.

Weather prediction models currently suggest Oma will be 300km off the Sunshine Coast on Saturday, but for how long, and where it goes next is anyone’s guess.

You all will find more hillbilly rednecks in Canberra than in Queensland.  Before you make assumptions compare your states Solar Panel uptake to that of Queensland, the blinkers may then come off.

The same as all those who have their heads in the sand!

Please send the water down to NSW.  We need it.

We're more than happy for you to get any run off you can catch, just don't let it run into the river system and be wasted.
