The ash Lutzi and nikkias Bond snack.
Bucks talking again before the end of the hour two hour mates Jeff from Higgins storm Chas has had him on earlier in the week.
We'll catch up about the latest. I'm looking forward to seeing what the latest tracking is suggesting as far as where it's going to cross, although it appears that and Jeff will be able to explain more. But the crossing is one thing, so obviously there will be one place that gets specifically hit, but that from wherever it hits, the area to the south is also going to cop like a huge lashing as well winds, destructive rains. Obviously there's a high tide which hits at midnight tomorrow night. If that coincides with the with the cyclone crossing, that could cause mass erosion.
At the time that they're expecting it to hit. I'm just looking on the monitor now, is that Are they saying four pm?
That's yeah, that's what it would look like.
It's what Thursday?
What? Yeah, yeah, it's four pm tomorrow.
It looks like when it's going to get kickoff.
Looks like is that right off Brisbane that's the eye of it.
Redcliff looks like Redcliffe is in the sharp trajectory, which means the Sunshine coast gets off a little lighter. But yeah, for me, the concern is the big tide alongside the big swell.
Yeah, flooding, Yeah, it seems like they'd be the massive day, you know. Concern, isn't it flooding?
The flooding four hundred mili of rain they're tipping up to six hundred mil in a really short space of time. We spoke to the Lord Mayor yesterday about the dam situation and whether they're going to release the water before or they're going to wait until it actually the rain starts, but hopefully they've got that cover. One hundred and fifty five kilometer hour winds likely may increase just enough to reach a category three.
Why is it up to one hundred fifi now? It is one hundred and twenty yesterday?
You know, I'm just reading straight off Higgins storm Chaser here. This is what they're saying.
Now, because we're talking to Jeff from storm Chasers soon, aren't we.
It's currently a category too, but some intensification is possible right up until landfall.
Certainly a degree of inevitability about it.
Now, isn't there like the sport thing. I think it Rock's home that made the call in NRL and AFL. Some blow ups there, by the way, interesting blow ups too.
I see Nicko Reema's partners yeah, saying, you.
Know, well done, and are really taking my husband away on I think is he pregnant or.
I think she said she's she's pregnant and she's got an they've got another child at home, and she's saying this is just for a game of football.
She blew love and away.
Like yeah, no, I know. Ash was saying it this morning, quoting her, and I'm like, I agree.
Yeah.
Well, I guess the important thing is there's and I think this could happen as the Dolphins players specifically in that case, will have the be given the choice of not going. I reckon there'll be some players that won't game, that will stay home with their partners.
Wouldn't they just bring all their families with them?
Yeah, maybe that's the other option.
I guess.
Yeah.
Flights is flights. I think flights already started shutting down.
I have to do some stage.
Yeah, well, I think they already have. I only came in last night from Hong Kong and the Uber driver. So there's already flights have been canceled for out of Brisbane because you know the airport won't mean this is going to happen.
Their nothing to be taken off.
Yeah no, and especially if there's going to be big puddles too all over the weekend.
Really, roadshove shut their parks from today, I think from today through until Friday. What's the schools, Well, the Premier had made a comment about that they're going to stay open but sort of keep your ears. Yeah.
I got an email from my kids high school and primary school about four and five o'clock yesterday afternoon say hey, look tomorrow we're remaining open, but you know we're going to be monitoring it. So it's a day by day situation which my kids absolutely spilling about.
I might actually I'm going to a text. I know my kids are wishing on a Cat five because they want to be wiped out for a week so they get to stay at home and they think they're going to be on their gadgets. But I'm like, if it gets any worse, kids, there won't be any power and there won't be any WiFi.
Well, have you done any planning around that, like, uh, like if Jeremy about the power, I'm in a building, I don't know whether our general like if our power goes out there, I don't know whether our generator is in the building well, has enough power to power I don't know it works.
My mum's got a generator. And we've got a few battery packs for gadgets, like for phones and things. But and a few torches. We found some old torches. We've got that. And then apparently you meant to have I mean, I don't think it's going to be that bad, but I can't like.
The way they're talking. Yeah, there's inevitability around this being ageddon.
By the way they had that.
We had, it's fair to be really vigilant.
And they had to tell us what the worst case scenario is because they've got to give us as chances possible to you'd rather that were for it.
Yeah, and I don't have gas? Do you have gas cooking? We would be, yeah, we don't. We've got to let well, we can't cook all right. We can't because we were an electric hobs. So we're like, oh gosh. So we opened one of our engagement presents from two thousand and eight nine eight, which was a little like camper cooking thing. Well that's not finally opened it.
That was like twenty to the people that gave it.
Yeah, thanks and Adam, we really love your present will come in handy for one night only.
They haven't even regifted it. That's how pathetic they thought. Your present was.
The ash Lutzi and nikkias Bond snack box.
Let's talk to Jeff Higgins from Storm Chasers. We're counting down to cyclone ELF. Good morning, Jeff. What's the latest, mate, Where is cyclone ELF at the moment, and what's how's the tracking.
Morning, guys. It's sort of like the calm before the storm the moment out out here. It's looking out and there's not a ripple on our damn out here at Warwick, so it's certainly got a neery feel to it. But at the moment is about four hundred y kilometers east of the Gold Coast or Brisbane Gold Coast, and he is moving towards the west quite steadily now, so he's coming in towards the coast.
And what at the moment, looking at the map, it's looking like it's going to hit around the Redcliffe area. Is that like, how locked in is that trajectory?
Now?
It's highly confident, guys, And this is a real tricky bit that gets hard to explain to people that I can. Every time the data updates, we're looking for any changes. So this updates every six hours and there's a lot of it around the club. So we're all looking for small changes in wobbles of movement as to where it is projected to cross the coast at this stage. Yes, between the Brisbane and the Gold Coast is where let's say around eighty percent of the data suggest that that's where it's going to cross. We will get light movements in that right up unto landfall. The data and the models will do the absolute best that they can, but obviously they're not pinpoint dead on.
Wherever it crosses. Jeff and say that the tracking is right, it does cross between Risbon and the Gold Coast. Is it accurate to say that south of that area is going to cut the worst of it?
And that absolutely explain that now, yep, I will. Now we need to keep in mind, we need to keep the Sunshine Coast in the warning in case the data is slightly out. Okay, So just the Sunshine Coast. People, please stay fully prepared and on all in case it does hit you directly as well. So I just need to get down the road. So then from Brisbane south to the Gold Coast down to Yamber because that location at the moment it currently is where it's forecast to be on the southern side or the center on the southern side, that is where the most strongest impacts are felt because it's the highest pressure gradients of the system at the moment likely to cross between Let's say, well, this is on the data spread anywhere from say three pm Thursday afternoon to eight pm Friday morning. We'll picking at midpoint it's going to cross the coast Thursday night.
Well, if you take the midpoint of that, let's call that roughly midnight, that's that's when the high tide is due.
Did you have to say that, Yeah, that's true. And that's a huge concern to say, yea cold coast, any foreshore from Brisbane, Boughton Bay, even a Gold coast, especially all that sort of stuff. There's going to be a lot of water pushed in from this system, much much higher tide than normal, so it'll flood some foreshore areas, and course it's at night. It's not ideal with these things likely crossing at night because right in the most intense part of the storm and the cyclhone is dark. You can't think thing bits and pieces flying around. You know it tappen on your house. You know he's coming down potentially, that sort of stuff.
Can you tell us the things the things we really shouldn't do when it hits, Like what are the things you shouldn't do? Like you shouldn't run out to the street and get your car and drive, Like what do you do and what shouldn't you do?
Okay, So importantly there's a lot of focus obviously on the center of the system where it's crossing. I did a post last night I said, please don't focus on that because the warning area is broad and it's much earlier than that. So from tomorrow Thursday, the weather will progressively get worse tomorrow.
So try and stay off the roads.
Yep.
I would have all preparations or your build Nixon acts and shopping done tomorrow today. Sorry, by the end close of business today. You need to be fully prepared. And I would avoid travel and being out and around from tomorrow, especially Thursday night Friday morning. That's the first time. So yeah, don't be out and about avoid stay home.
Yes, stay home, can we Jeff? Will there be? Will? Will there be an eye of this cyclone like where you get hit, then it goes still for a while and then the back half of it hits you.
Technically, yes, not not so much as a as a clear defined eye like in a much bigger cyclone. But there will be a real surge on that western and southern side, so around the wrap on the as it comes in and then once it crosses it a week in a bit, but there will be a bit of a calm areas as you were to call it in sort of that middle part. Again, it would be too complacent. It's going to get pretty pre be wild and hectic. Now I want to mention something. We are personally receiving a huge influx of concerned messages from elderly people. This was only raised to me last night by our team as against storm tasting we're getting they are scared. I'm going to put it straight out there. So if family members and friends and loved ones of elderly people, could you please reach out to them today and just make sure that they are okay, talk to them, make sure that they've got what they need, and just tell them to stay at home for the next two or three days please, that would be great.
And maybe drag in some of their outdoor furniture and pot some plants.
Yeah yeah, yeah, give them something to do. Yeah yeah, what's your favorite pot? Plants inside? Yes, but you have your shopping done today. We don't want you the elderly out tomorrow and Friday, and then stay home and keep all the windows and doors shut. Now there's a myth I want to bust here. A lot of people saying open your windows on the down wind side. Okay, that's a myth. It needs to be stopped and advised the game you should have all of your windows and closed the whole time.
All right, Thanks for coverage, Jeff, You've been great mate. We'll stay in touch with you. Who knows, probably get you on tomorrow morning if we can too, and get the very latest as well.
Yeah sounds good. I just want to mention the rain Friday and Saturday on southeast coast in Southeas, Queensland. It's going to be pretty nasty with a lot of After the system crosses it pulls in a lot of moisture from from the ocean, so you got your initial hits and the moisture gets pulled in. So a lot of heavy rain and flooding on Friday into Saturday.
Okay, I think no golf.
Should be starting to get good bye Sunday.
Thank you Jeff for talk tomorrow.
Thank you guys, the ash Lutzi and Nikkiason snack box.
Even the surf Atnoosa is going off and the moment I've seen some footage all places there, but there's like perfect surf at the moment off the points.
I've never seen anything like it on the on the Gold Coast, I've never seen the power of that. Like it looks like North Like it looks like Hawaii. Yeah, and it's like it's like Rainbow Bay. It's coming right around those points. It looks like past Green Mount all the way to Cire, like huge, big long rides.
It's all time perf.
One of the kids at his school got intentionally suspended this week so we could go and surf down on the Gold Coast.
I believe it.
This is what's going on.
Did you see Fanning? Mick Fanning got cut, Yeah, so what was that Did he bust up a border or did he just face plant?
It looks like it's hard to tell, because what do you believe what you see? But it looks like if he was in a on a wave and fell off in a barrel and must have hit his head on the surfboard he had butter shark, he might have but yeah, that was like but even yeah that But when they're shown that vision, it's it's it looks more like you know what I mean, Like it's not off the the point of it looks like it's they're coming right through.
It's like that's a family beach, it's Rainbow Bay.
It's only still water.
Still that's where you go take you can serve the end of the Lilula River at the moment. That just a bar crossing. That's where they're getting the best well because boats aren't going anywhere. So that's where all the surfers.
Of but looked out and it looks like I was saying to you, what was I saying to anything?
It was off fair saying it's you know, I don't know who these surfers are, but these perfect ten barrel waves, like you just don't see that who are these.
Rides of a lifetime. Were just they're just average punters that have got the absolute best condition we've seen. I just checked. I was there that day.
It was ninety six when Shane Besham scored three perfect ten rides in a WSL event at Kira, which was unpreced He got three perfect tents, like three perfect barrel rides. But if you look at you Instagram over the last two or three days, I've just been swamped with every dude get in these. And we were joking about how Mick Fanning did not the numbers day, the prey numbers day. But if you watch closely, there's been too everyone's doing that. It's almost like a it's a cathartic kind of religious experience people are going through. And the second thing, I mean, just because everyone's put posting because they can get some numbers on posting these things. You try and find a surfing video of someone getting a wave on the Gold Coast at the moment without someone using the F word, it's just every single video is like, man, that's philth and you wait for it, wait for the effort, sick every single one.

You were talking about how you think flight's going to be grounded. Is that what's happening.
That's what my uber drove told me last night, but that could be.
Uber drive.
I can't see how the airport's going to work if it's as bad as we're telling everyone it's going to be.
At the moment.
We don't want another Delta Airlines scenario where it's head no, thank you no. Well, it just made me.
Think I'll be canceled for sure. I have to the.
Times, the amount of times that I've missed a flight for some reason or another. It reminded me of when we went to Europe in twenty twenty three. We were in the UK and it had been raining for six weeks straight and we just went, stuff, this, let's go to Greece. So we flew to Paxos, which is I think it's just off the Albanian coast, but it's still considered a Greek island. And anyway, we had a great time. Actually no, we got COVID and Teddy actually redecorated.
This sounds like the worst trip of all time. You were in England for six weeks and it rained every day for six weeks and sounds like the worst trip ever.
We flew to Greece because we knew we would be able to get an accommodation because everything was on fire. Remember when all the islands were on fire because of the heat waves, And we're like, oh, we'll be able to get a calm now, let's just go.
One of those families that jumps towards.
It, towards the flames, like where is first responder.
Just had fire through the whole city.
To be fair, yes, that was our thing. So it was for a bit, but then we got the biggest storm ever. But then we met all these people on the island, a whole bunch of expats, and we got on with them, We had parties with them and all of that. And then anyway, the day we were leaving, were down at the harbor to catch our ferry to go and get a flight from Corfu, and that they wouldn't let us board. No one was allowed to board this bloody fairy and we didn't know what was going on because we don't speak Greek, and there was chaos, and then Jeremy's text one of our mates, who kind of they know everyone on the island, she said, oh, yeah, something's gone down, and so they've grounded everyone on the island. Then all the fed start pulling up on the boat. What happened was we got a text from our friend going, oh, yeah, our other friends that were at dinner with last night, you know how we left the restaurant and we're like, yeah, in the main square. Yeah, just after you left, there was a mafia hit in front of the restaurant and they had to like they were first on seeing Yeah, we shot five times in the main square on this island. They were dealing with all of that, but they hadn't caught the culprit yet, so they they'd grounded the island. Anyway, Jeremy being Jeremy and refusing to miss a flight, he started taggling with all these dudes with their little rib boats, these little Greek guys with rib boats, and we ended up jumping on some tiny little blow up thing with a guy called Christof and I had to hold all the suitcases down and a big storm had come through to so we're like hanging through these massive waves. My suitcases are bouncing up around my head. But anyway, we made it to the airport. We did just make our flight.
But yeah, I feel like the mafia hit men just quickly probably would have found a way to get a Feland as well.
No, they got him.
He was stupid.
Yeah, credit card.
Stuff.
I was going to do a phone of them, but.
Part of a mafia hit squad.
Yeah yeah, that'd be a good one.
Yeah. When did you break that and you got away with it?
