Up to 15mm of rain is predicted to fall across the Melbourne and Adelaide on Saturday, while minor flood warnings remain in place in parts of WA s remote northwest as a result of Cyclone Ilsa.
Port Hedland has dodged what are believed to be the strongest winds ever recorded in Australia, but it’s still ‘a live event’ for miners and remote communities in severe tropical cyclone Ilsa’s path.
Structural specialists will assess the ability of buildings in remote inland WA to withstand cyclonic weather as the clean-up from the passage of Severe Tropical Cyclone Ilsa continues.
Cyclone Ilsa has now been classified as a Category 4 storm, and is set to lash the coast between Port Hedland and Bidyadanga in the state s Pilbara region, on Thursday night or Friday morning.
Cyclone Ilsa will bring with it damaging wind and heavy rainfall - with WA residents living in between Bidyadanga and De Grey ordered to seek shelter or evacuate their homes now.
