Tropical Storms - Roundup of Tropical Storms:
Tropical cyclone (tc) 13p (Marcia), located approximately 262 nm north-northwest of Brisbane, Australia, and is tracking southward at 10 knots.
While conditions have eased as two powerful cyclones in Queensland and the Northern Territory are downgraded, a trail of destruction has left thousands facing a gruelling clean-up effort to repair shattered properties. While there have been no reports of deaths, 60,000 homes are currently without power, and State Emergency Services have been flooded with more than 3000 calls for aid. There remained potential for flooding in areas of the state, as the Bureau of Meteorology tracked the storm moving north and reported downpours of up to 70 millimetres on the Sunshine Coast.
