Flood Warnings Issue for Western Australia After Cyclone Zelia

Tropical Cyclone Zelia struck Western Australia, initially making landfall as a category four storm near De Grey, causing intense rainfall and strong winds. While the storm has since weakened, flood warnings remain in effect for several rivers in the Pilbara region, including the De Grey, Nullagine, and Coongan Rivers, with major flooding reported. The Bureau of Meteorology warned of significant flooding impacts and ongoing road closures as floodwaters continue to rise. Emergency services are assessing the damage, although no serious injuries have been reported. Authorities are urging residents to exercise caution around floodwaters and damaged infrastructure. The situation is being closely monitored as the cleanup continues and additional rainfall is expected.
