"Stakeholders to share preliminary results from community and field surveys conducted in the immediate aftermath of Severe Tropical Cyclone LARRY. These early surveys were mostly carried out along the coastal strip between Cairns and Cardwell. Other areas with major damage include the nearby Atherton Tablelands and islands in the cyclone?s path. A more specific goal was to attempt to allocate a Category to LARRY at the time of landfall. ... The Forum was successful in that it provided an opportunity for the key agencies to report on the preliminary results from the various community and field surveys. However the meeting failed to reach any scientifically supportable conclusion on the Category of LARRY at landfall. Evidence presented showed a possible range from a high Category 3 to a low Category 5. To attempt to resolve the matter, more field survey work was called for along with detailed wind and storm tide modelling of the event." -- p. 3.
