Severe Tropical Cyclone Ita, category 5, poses a significant threat to communities along the far north Queensland coast of Australia. At this stage it is expected to move to the southwest and make landfall between Cape Melville and Cape Tribulation later on Friday as a severe category 5 tropical cyclone with very destructive winds near the core and gales extending some distance from the landfall location.
Very heavy rain, which may lead to flash flooding, is expected to develop about parts of the Peninsula and North Tropical Coast and Tablelands districts on Friday and persist into the weekend. This image was taken by JMA/MTSAT at 0530Z on April 10, 2014.
