This is normally our weather pattern, but floods aren't usually so big and it usually skips a year or 2 between floods and cyclones. Below is a picture i found of Cyclone Anthony hitting the North Queensland Coast, While Cyclone Yasi is form out at sea.. She is much much closer now and will be hitting some time early tomorrow morning..

Wishing everyone in NQ good luck. But i hope everyone in the path of this monster have evacuated or are today!! Stay safe!!
