Australia Bracing For Direct Hit From Strengthening Cyclone Ilsa

As of Wednesday evening, local time, Ilsa was churning in the eastern Indian Ocean about 190 miles to the west-northwest of Broome, a resort town on Australia's northwestern coast. ACCUWEATHER

Western Australia is preparing for strong winds and flooding later this week as Tropical Cyclone Ilsa continues to gather strength on its final approach to the continent, according to AccuWeather forecasters.

Ahead of the cyclone, Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) issued cyclone warnings, and evacuations were already underway. Those who plan to stay behind have been told to expect damage from wind gusts of over 125 mph (about 200 km (656200.00 feet)/h). Winds that powerful have not been experienced in the area in nearly a decade.
