CYCLONE GLENDA SMASHES INTO TOWNS ON WEST AUSTRALIAN COAST


Screen grab from Channel 7 News of Category 4 Cyclone Glenda hitting Dampier.

For the second time in less than two weeks, a massive Category Four cyclone has hit the Australian coast. This time it's Cyclone Glenda and as we're posting it's slamming into small communities on northern coast of West Australia.

The town of Onslow is expected to be worst hit, but the full effect of a predicted massive tidal surge won't be known until dawn.
