A tropical cyclone nearing Australia is forecast to be the most powerful storm in eight years to hit the country, bringing wind gusts of up to 315 kilometres per hour as it crosses the northwest coast, meteorologists said Thursday.
A tropical cyclone nearing Australia is forecast to be the most powerful storm in eight years to hit the country, bringing wind gusts of up to 315 kilometres per hour as it crosses the northwest coast, meteorologists said Thursday.
The last Category 5 storm to cross the Australian coast was Cyclone Marcia in 2015. Marcia caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage in the east coast state of Queensland. "We haven't had any as strong as this in many years. This is a big one," Batth said. "There's no point in worrying. I can't stop it."
Bidyadanga, home to around 700 people midway between Wallal Downs Station and Broome, stocked enough food and fuel by Thursday to last a week in case the community is isolated by floodwater. Bidyadanga CEO Tania Baxter said maintaining the community's electricity would be critical to how they weather the storm.
"Everyone is on edge," Carter said. "They understand that cyclones are what they are. They're very, very unpredictable."
