Tropical Cyclone Zelia made landfall on Australia’s west coast, affecting Port Hedland and surrounding areas. Initially a category five cyclone, it weakened to category four but caused extensive rainfall, flooding, and damage. Port Hedland, a critical iron ore hub, was advised to prepare for significant impacts, including road closures and evacuations in remote communities. While the cyclone’s severe winds spared populated areas, emergency services continue to respond to flooding, with health and safety assessments ongoing. Heavy rains are expected to persist, raising concerns about extended disruptions to local infrastructure and mining operations.
