Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, love, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
How have you gone through the evening?
Speaker 3 (00:04):
Oh? Look, it's a bit hard to sleep at the moment,
isn't it. And for the first time I'm really processing
that almost content overload of social media. I'm not sure
about others, but just the pictures constantly coming through of
what's happening in our community. It's really hard to switch
off from that. We're seeing, you know, lifeguard towers about
to go into the water up at Narroneck. Down south,
(00:27):
we're seeing huge pine trees over boundary road and cool
and gatter. So from the northern end of the coast
to the southern end of the coast, it's really starting
to happen, and we're seeing that from these destructive winds.
So we've had some nasty rainscoles come through and these
bring with them a bigger band of rain which comes
down with stronger winds from the higher levels of the atmosphere.
(00:47):
This is one of the things that you have before
the cyclone arrives. So there's a lot of talk about
the eye of the cyclone, but you feel the effects
of the cyclone long before the eye of the cyclone
reaches you. I saw your hair in braids.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yesterday I was like, she's ready. Her hair is not
flying around for all your TV crosses.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I ain't got time to do my hair. My hair
is staying like this until the cyclone is through.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
It's just all the girls on TV. Their hair is
in tight buns or braids. We are not missing with
this cyclic in. No hair and makeup needed, Alfred.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Can you believe that one hundred and eighty kilometers east
northeast of the Gold Coast at the moment at a
category two expected to remain a similar intensity until it
crosses the coast late Friday evening or early Saturday. Gosh,
that's this evening. I'm losing track of the days, most
likely close to more than Bay between Neuser and Pull
and Gadda. But we are seeing on the computer modeling
(01:42):
a bit of a radic behavior when it comes in.
So we haven't had a cyclone across here in fifty
one years. The last tropical cyclone across at the Gold
Coast was Zobe back in nineteen seventy four, So the
computer models do have a bit of room for variation
with what exactly it's going to do. But we see
it coming to towards the Gold Coast, possibly even cool
and gatter, and then staying just offshore we're talking about
(02:05):
the eye, and then drifting a little bit north into
the bays, possibly to the wards the Sunshine Coast before
it actually comes over land. Once it's over land, it
will deteriorate pretty rapidly. It will very quickly go from
a category to down to Category one over land and
then a low pressure system and that one we'll see
the rain, so winds prior to arrival, the heaviest of
(02:26):
the rain after arrival.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
What do you think the biggest threat is, Liz, for
the Gold Coast in itself. Is it the strong winds
do you think? Or is it more the constant raining
and flooding.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Look, I'm really concerned about the storm surges for a
lot of our community that eat by water. I think
of all the properties that are on canals on the
Glack Coast, and that's worrying me at the moment with
our high tide levels coupled with the biggest waves we
are ever going to see since records existed. So I'd
be taking storm surges really seriously. If you're nearby to
(02:59):
the beach or along any of the waterways now.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Liza, yesterday I went down to have a little look
at the beach and do some radio crosses, and I
was trying to explain on air this morning that the
power of the storm kind of got into my soul.
What I felt like invigorated, and it was just thrilling.
Is this how it's felt for you going and checking
out and doing your crosses right from the water's edge.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Absolutely, it's just it's mother Nature alive, especially because I
go to the beach every day to do my hot
tomato reports. So I've seen it for the last couple
of weeks, just so calm, so pristine, The ocean clarity
is so clear, so much sand. To see it transform
the way it has in just a week, it's mind boggling.
(03:45):
There was so much sand on our beaches and then
this morning you look at it and there's half meter
cliffs where the sand has just completely gone, and monstrous
waves when just days ago I was looking at surf
hip high going. I wish we could get a bit
of a bigger swim.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah, Lise, you've been doing a wonderful job. I saw
a lot of your crosses yesterday on Channel ten and
that story with the surfer when he was out there
catching that amazing wave with Mick Fannings watching it, and
then realizing that he may have done it on his
brother who had passed away on his old surfboard that
may have been sold on at some stage. So it
(04:24):
was just a really beautiful story and just another side
of what we're looking at.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Thank you, Oppy Weddy. His name is on Instagram. He
literally is an op shopper. Bought this board for twenty
dollars from a tip shop in Lizmore. Takes it out
at Kerry's, just the sweetest soul and screaming down the
line ya doing. Mick noticed him, picked him up on
the ski to take him back around, and he looks
at his board and he says to him, oh my gosh,
(04:52):
I'm pretty sure this is my brother Ed Fanning's board.
He flips it over and it's even got a crease
where he expects the crease to be. I mean, I'm
a every person that has that for a moment with
you know, mixed late brother joining him out in the lineup.
In some way, Akira on one of the best days
they've ever experienced.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
We had goosebumps when we were watching

so much.
