About 300 millimetres of rain fell within two hours in Hervey Bay on Sunday. The mayor says the town was unprepared because of a lack of warnings.

What on earth is he talking about? I checked the Bureau of Meteorology app from Melbourne. The rainfall forecasts were very concerning.

We should increase funding for the BoM & consider a disaster response group outside the ADF. In downtimes they can work on preparedness.

Hervey Bay was moved out of the warning zone a couple of days before TC Alfred hit SEQ. Forecast was for 40mm rain that day, got 300mm.

Also he’s a mayor who is intelligent, articulate and very active in the community (a rarity I’m sure many would agree)

For fuck sake, we've been warned about the cyclone hitting the coast for over a week, how much more warning do people need

A bit rough. I heard warnings for the Sunshine Coast throughout our warnings here in the Northern Rivers.

Time for a new Mayor, Hervey Bay.

I'm sorry? I live in Victoria and heard plenty of warnings about the Cyclone and flooding loud and clear. And you're saying "the mayor" said this?? 🤨

Did they not see the giant cyclone off the coast? Or the million warnings for Sunshine Coast and beyond?
