Cyclone Marcia is due to cross the coast near St Lawrence this time tomorrow 
morning.   Possibly due to warm sea temperatures, it has rapidly intensified.  
It was originally expected to be a category 1 event crossing the coast near 
Gladstone.  It is now expected to be a category 5 and crossing the coast north 
of Rockhampton.   http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDQ65002.shtml

The storm tides are likely to affect the turtle rookeries and the system is 
likely to affect seabirds in the southern coral sea.  If nothing else, it will 
have an impact on pelagic sightings over the next couple of days.

Regards, Laurie.
