Australia - TC Larry
|
Looks like folks down under are in for quite a battering, especially those along the QLD coast from Cairns to Bowen., Severe Tropical Cyclone Larry has intensified rapidly during the past 10 hours, with central pressure dropping from 950mb to a current 925mb. The cyclone is a Category 4 on the Australian Scale, with gusts to 280 kmh. However, larry is getting stronger, and will likely reach Category 5 with gusts over 300 kmh. Certainly gonna be a devastating impact wherever it moves onshore.
