So niece missed the worst of the cyclone, landfall 50km away which doesn't seem far to me. Heavy rain tho, and very strong winds

Cyclone Zeila

#Zelia is located 126 km north-northwest of #PortHedland, #Australia, and has tracked west-southwestward at 4 km/h (2 knots) over the past 6 hours. Maximum significant wave height is 7.9 meters (26 feet).

Zelia is forecast to continue slowly tracking west-southwestward over the next 24 hours, steered by competing, yet weak influences of two subtropical ridges to its west and east-southeast.

Current intensity maximum is forecast to be 230 km/h (125 knots), the system may reach slightly higher maximum wind speeds, if it slows down even more and spends more time within the highly favorable environment.

After 36 hours, Zelia will make landfall and begin to steadily weaken as its wind field interacts with the terrain and the core is cut off the favorable ocean environment.

Alguien en el Servo

Me llama la atención este aviso de los australianos, que a pesar de todas las nuevas tecnologías, inteligencias y automatismos piden que tanto al entrar o salir de Port Hedland siempre haya un fulano en el local del servo para poder maniobrar a mano, dicen por el elevado numero de incidentes que han tenido.

Entrar en Port Hedland no es difícil tienen un canal balizado que se us
