Australia's Top End braces for Category 5 Cyclone Monica
2006-04-23
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.
