The severe tropical cyclone Zelia landed on the west coast of Australia on Friday, with a lot of storms and heavy rains.
According to the Australian Meteorological Agency (BOM), the storm landed on the Pilbara coast of West Australia, 65 km east of Porthead Land shortly after 12 pm (4 pm GMT).
The BOM, which has been enhanced rapidly with the highest level 5 levels, packed up up to 290 kmph (180 mph) and moved faster than expected in 11 kmmph, BOM said.
It began to track the south until 2 pm and became slightly weaker with category 4, but the authorities warned that the risk was not over.
The warning zone extends from menstruation to Whim Creek, where residents are suffering from severe winds, blackouts and shortages. At least 124 people visited the refuge at the Evacuation Center in Port Hedland and Karratha.
The 15,000 Port Hedland missed the core of the cyclone.
Previously, the officials were to evacuate people to evacuate people to evacuate the refuge in the strongest part of the house.
Daren Klemm, a commissioner of the Fire and Emergency Services (DFES), said, “There is a threat to life and home. You are in danger and have to act immediately. Shelter in the room now.
The Korea Meteorological Agency warned of the rapid rainfall and is expected to up to 300mm (11.8 inches) and up to 500mm for 3 days for the next 24 hours. There is a risk of severe floods, including the Dray River.
BOM predictor Matthew Collopy said, “This is a very dangerous system.
Meteorologist Angus Hines described the storm as “fatal”.
“Category 5 is the best of size. It’s not worse than that. The wind is extremely damaging and a wide range of rain, floods and storms are expected.”
Cyclone Zelia paralyzed Australia’s iron ore exports, forcing Pilbara’s major port and mining operation.
Port Hedland, the world’s largest iron ore export terminal, closed on Wednesday, demanding shelters with major mining giants such as BHP, Rio Tinto, Fortescue and Hancock.
RIO Tinto said in a statement that “the company is trying to alleviate the impact and will provide appropriate updates.”
Fortescue stopped operating at the Iron Bridge Mining site, while BHP confirmed that Port Hedland staff had a shelter at a category 5th grade.
Dampier, Cape Lambert and Varanus Island Ports, the main hubs of iron ore and gas, were closed on Thursday evenings.
Cyclone Zelia went to category 5 in category 3 in 24 hours. Over the past few years, the rapid reinforcement of tropical storms in the Pacific and Atlantic has become very common due to hot seawater.
Professor David Karolly, a climate counselor, said, “The rising sea level temperature is more moisturized in the atmosphere, which helps to increase strength, so it can potentially cause flash floods when a serious tropical cyclone Zelia hits the coast.
