Tropical Cyclone Kirrily has crossed the coast of Queensland bringing heavy rain and very strong wind gusts, with the possibility that areas inland could see a deluge from the storm system.
The cyclone had been updated to a category-three storm on Thursday afternoon and crossed the Queensland coast at Townsville at 10pm. But it was then downgraded first to a category-two storm and then category one as it made its way inland, the Queensland Bureau of Meteorology said.
