Fig. 4: Modelled storm surge suggests category 4-5 cyclone impacts.
From: The utility of historical records for hazard analysis in an area of marginal cyclone influence

Model results for Run 180. This model is one of five consistent with the historical observations, at Denham of water level above 3 m mean sea level and consistent with the observed inundation of between 2.1 m (7 ft) and 3.05 m (10 ft) over land. The model also reproduces the extremely high storm surges at Useless Loop (Site IV) and at landfall north of Tamala Station (Site III).
