Monica closes on NT at 320km/h

CYCLONE Monica was upgraded to a Category 5 storm late yesterday as it approached the Northern Territory coast.With very destructive winds of up to 320km/h at its core, northwest Arnhem Land was beginning to feel Monica's fury.

The cyclone was in the Gulf of Carpentaria, 240km east of Nhulunbuy, and moving northwest at 7 km/h. Several isolated Aboriginal communities were in its path.

Gales up to 120 km/h were forecast between Groote Eylandt and Elcho Island overnight or early this morning, lifting to 160km/h gusts as the cyclone moved closer to the coast.
It was also feared that perilously high tides whipped up by Monica and heavy rain could cause extensive flooding.

The weather bureau said the huge storm had the potential to cause more destruction than Cyclone Larry in far north Queensland because it was larger and slower. >>cont
