I heard there was wrecks everywhere people sliding on the ice

I guess when they make the public service announcements to stay at home unless it is an emergency that any damage you get on your car is your own fault and not covered by insurance ????????

That would only work if the insurance companies have that written into the policy.

Cyclone risk amid latest start to Queensland monsoon season in decades​

Queensland has recorded its latest start to a monsoon season in 70 years, as authorities monitor several offshore weather systems that could develop into tropical cyclones.

Heavy rainfall and potential flooding is forecast for parts of Queensland today, with the possibility of a cyclone in the state's north increasing later this week.

"We're getting this monsoon surge from the later part of this week into this weekend [which] looks likely to persist through that first week of February," Senior meteorologist Miriam Bradbury said.

"It's a significantly late start to the monsoon season but it's really kicking off with a bang.

"We've got quite a number of tropical lows that we at the [weather] bureau keeping a really close eye on."

The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) estimates there is a 25 per cent chance a low in the Coral Sea, off the north-east coast, will develop into a tropical cyclone over the weekend.

A second system, further out to sea, has a 35 per cent chance of becoming a cyclone by Monday.

There's also a lower chance a third tropical cyclone will form in the Gulf of Carpentaria over the weekend.

"It's too early to pick which area is most likely to develop at this stage," meteorologist Shane Kennedy said.

Flood watch for north coast​

The BOM has issued a severe weather warning for heavy rain and possible flash flooding between Rollingstone and Babinda in north Queensland tonight and tomorrow.

Six-hourly rainfall totals of between 130 and 180 millimetres are possible, with isolated 24-hour totals of up to 300mm also possible.

Wet weather has already set in across the broader north Queensland region, with Rita Island near Ayr recording 143mm in six hours.

Mr Kennedy said the peak period of rainfall was expected tonight, continuing into Wednesday morning.

"It will likely be pretty wet conditions for several days for the far north," Mr Kennedy said.

The rain is due to a low-pressure system lingering over the Gulf of Carpentaria, extending through to the Coral Sea.
