What are 'king tides'? I have never heard that expression before. Is
'king' another word for big? Or does it have some other meaning?

Get back to reality and tell me just how you'd cope with a direct hit
from a Cat 5, like the one off Northerm Oz at the moment.
280kph winds are nver "enjoyable" and with the seas that go with such
winds, "getting flooded" is the least of your worries!


That sounds less than appealing. Will it make landfall?

Yep, expected to make land sometime early morning at present.
Unfortunately that area has had king tides the last few days, and the
surge will not do them any good.

Not much populated areas up there, though there are a lot of small
coastal villages at risk.
