Melissa in Australia Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Western Australia will be hit with a cat 5 cyclone tonight . winds expected to be over 280 km/h and gusts over 315 km/h. I cannot even imagine wind that strong. instruments recorded winds over 235km/h on a small offshore island this afternoon before failing. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04-13/wa-cyclone-ilsa-upgraded-category-5-pilbara-kimberley-/102219020 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa in Australia Posted April 13, 2023 Author Share Posted April 13, 2023 I believe that it is mostly going to go through areas with very low population. I just cannot get over the wind speeds 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraidycat Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Scary! I hope it stays off the beaten path and away from people and people-y type things, like homes and infrastructure. I hope the animals have all sought safety elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
