Golden Ten Data, March 18 - A severe storm is intensifying near the northern coast of Australia and is expected to make landfall in the North Queensland mining area later this week, potentially bringing destructive winds and heavy rainfall. According to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, as of Wednesday morning local time, tropical cyclone "Narelle" was located about 1,100 kilometers northeast of Cairns, with maximum sustained winds reaching 110 kilometers per hour. The Bureau stated that the cyclone is expected to move westward and strengthen as it draws energy from warm seas, possibly making landfall as a Category 4 storm on Friday. The cyclone is expected to bring heavy rainfall to large areas of northern Queensland, possibly affecting Cairns. Although the region is sparsely populated, it is home to Rio Tinto and Glencore bauxite mines. The Bureau predicts that these mines will be affected by destructive gusts starting Thursday afternoon. In a broadcast, Bureau official Jonathan stated that there is also a risk of dangerous flash floods and rapid rises in river levels.
