North Queenslanders could be facing the biggest tropical cyclone “in living memory”, with the massive Tropical Cyclone Narelle expected to cross Cape York on Friday.

Narelle formed on Tuesday evening, south of Solomon Islands, and on Wednesday was heading towards the far north Queensland coast. Sue Oates from the Bureau of Meteorology said the storm had a 90% chance of heading west, making landfall likely near Coen on Friday.
