Zelia, a powerful cyclone packing Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) category four winds, struck Western Australia about 75 kilometers east of the iron ore mining hub of Port Hedland today, toppling trees and flooding roads. Thus far, reported wind damage has been limited to trees falling and minor roof and structural damage; major or catastrophic damage appears so far to have been avoided. A moderate flood warning has been issued for the De Grey River Catchment and a flood warning is in place for the Pilbara Coastal Rivers. In addition, Onslow Coast, Fortescue, Ashburton, Gascoyne, De Grey Rivers, and parts of Sandy Desert Catchments are under a flood watch. Rainfall totals are expected to reach 200 to 300 mm in some areas, with as much as 500 mm possible over the next few days.
ALERT™ subscribers can download similar stochastic event (SSE) IDs for Cyclone Zelia’s impacts in Western Australia from the Downloads tab of this posting on the ALERT website. Compatible with Touchstone® and Touchstone Re™, the SSEs were selected based on the event’s track, minimum central pressure, estimated winds, forward speed, and landfall angle. They should only be used with exposures in Australia.
