Tropical Cyclone Fina has left swathes of northern Australia without electricity after tearing past Darwin with destructive winds, while a separate violent storm system smashed the South Australian town of Port Pirie.
Fina, which intensified into a category-three cyclone as it crossed the Northern Territory’s Top End late on Saturday, brought wind gusts of around 205kmph as it swept past the capital, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.
