Cyclone spares Darwin, but threatens WA
Tuesday Apr 25 18:53 AEST

Cyclone Monica has spared Darwin and has weakened to a tropical low, but may intensify again before menacing Western Australia.

Monica was packing winds of up to 350kph near its core when it touched down on Monday night at Maningrida, in the far north of the Northern Territory.

1. 350 KPH????!!!!!

:wow: That is a devastating storm and I believe, bodes badly for the hurrican season coming up and the chances that storm weary people who still haven't had any real help will be hit again.

2. It's been downgraded, but I think they have had several this year

I don;t know how many normally hit Australia.. This storm is names Monica, so it;s number 13..
