Around quarter of a million people are directly in the path of Cyclone Kirrily as it moves into Queensland. Landfall was happening around midnight last night New Zealand time. (9pm Thursday Queensland)
The storm is now Category 3 – this was NOT the case when we recorded this video around midday Thursday, however the tracking hasn’t changed much from this video.

Robert,
1) Why don’t you simply watch someone else who has done a newer broadcast then?
2) If we do a video right now that too will become 12 hours behind in 12 hours time. So does mean we can’t ever record a forecast ever?
3) We’re regularly updating on X and those social media posts are also in this Video page.
4) Our Videos are FREE so you can literally have all your money back.
You have a good day now!
