Several Pilbara communities are on red alert as tropical cyclone Ilsa — now a highest-severity category five storm — makes its way towards the WA coast packing winds of up to 285km/h.
The powerful hurricane is expected to strike the coast with gusts of wind up to 175 mph, officials warned.
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 (196 miles) per hour as it crosses the northwest coast, meteorologists said Thursday.
Ilsa reached the highest Category 5 intensity Thursday over the Indian Ocean and is expected to maintain that destructive level as it crosses the Pilbara coast by early Friday.
