A red alert has been issued along Australia’s Pilbara coast as severe tropical Cyclone Veronica begins to make landfall.
The centre of the storm is currently located around 95 kilometres west of Port Hedland. Legendre Island reported a wind gust of 157km/h on Sunday morning and Roebourne recorded 139km/h and Port Hedland 119km/h.
It is being forecast that sustained winds around 150km/h and gusting over 205km/h can be expected for some time and massive waves of up to 11 metres.
The strong winds will be accompanied by a prolonged spell of torrential rainfall which is likely to cause major flooding. Significant river rises are expected with some areas getting 500mm of rain over the next few days.
