Severe Tropical Cyclone Ita Bears Down on Australia
Severe Tropical Cyclone Ita, category 3, is expected to continue moving in a general westwards direction towards the far north Queensland coast, while intensifying. Gales extend 220 kilometres out from the centre and may develop between Coen and Cooktown late Thursday and develop elsewhere between Cape Grenville and Cairns during Friday.
Severe Tropical Cyclone Ita poses a significant threat to communities along the far north Queensland coast and at this stage it is expected to approach the coast between Lockhart River and Cape Flattery and make landfall late Friday as a severe category 4 tropical cyclone with very destructive winds near the core and gales extending some distance from the landfall location.
