Counts are cyclones whose track passed within 100 km at category 1 strength or more. Severe means category 3 or stronger. Where a page covers two towns, the count is measured from Port Douglas, Mission Beach, Ayr, Airlie Beach, Rockhampton or Hervey Bay.
Somewhere else? Enter your postcode on our Cyclone Ready map to see every cyclone that has come within 100 km since 1970, then use the generator size calculator to work out what size you need. A small inverter with a power station is often enough for the essentials, and our generator and power station bundles pair the two for $100 less than buying them separately.
