Storm Kirrily: Strong winds and rains expected on the northern coast of Australia for the second time in several months
The Australian state of Queensland is on the verge of the second strong tropical cyclone in the last 2 months. A dangerous storm is expected to hit Australia on Wednesday, which could threaten the health, life and well-being of citizens.
Officials believe that the storm, which will be called Cyclone Kirrily, could be more destructive than the one that hit the country a month ago, the Washington Post reports.
The main danger is posed by powerful wind gusts that can reach 220 kilometers per hour.
The state has not yet recovered from the previous cyclone, and a new danger is already looming. It is expected that by Tuesday, Kirrily will turn into a cyclone and gain strength before reaching the Queensland coast.
Australians will witness heavy rains, flooding and destructive winds. Residents of the state should be prepared for the storm and follow the instructions of local authorities.
An evacuation plan and a safe place at home without windows and doors will come in handy.
