Now, This Is A Storm

Tropical Cyclone Monica is heading into Darwin.

With winds in its core of up to 360kmh, category five Monica's intensity has alarmed weather forecasters who have tracked it since it formed in the Coral Sea weeks ago.

"It's quite compact," said Gordon Jackson, a senior forecaster with the bureau. "It has gale force winds 200 kilometres across with its eye 40 kilometres across." He added: "It looks like Darwin will definitely get destructive winds."


200MPH winds, and coming ashore, a good place to not be for the next few days.
