Very dangerous Tropical Cyclone "Veronica" forms near Western Australia, prepare now

Tropical Cyclone "Veronica" formed north of Kimberly, Western Australia on March 19, 2019. The low rapidly intensified yesterday and BOM expects it to continue intensifying to a severe category with a severe tropical cyclone and coastal crossing possible for the Pilbara coast over the weekend.
This will be a slow-moving and intense tropical cyclone with significant and prolonged wind, storm surge and flooding impacts.

There is a level of uncertainty in the exact track but communities along the Pilbara coast should begin preparing now for what could be a dangerous period over the weekend, BOM's Senior Meteorologist Andrea Peace said.
The current forecast track takes Veronica towards the WSW over the next 24 to 48 hours before taking a more southwards turn on Friday, March 22.
With very warm sea surface temperatures off the northwest coast and atmospheric conditions that are conducive to cyclone development, there's ample energy to feed this system—meaning that we can be sure that this system will intensify and gales may be experienced along the coast from Friday, although more likely overnight into Saturday, Peace said.
Communities in the Pilbara, particularly those between Port Hedland and Exmouth need to stay up to date with the latest advice from the Bureau and the Department of Fire and Emergency Services, she said

Stations around the Pilbara including Sherlock say they’ve tipped out 500mm from their rain gauges!! After a very dry summer the concern is for the welfare of their cattle. ????Carlindie Station SE of Port Hedland where the river has broken #cycloneVeronica @abcnews @abcperth pic.twitter.com/kHBogUUrtI

Different views but neighbouring country one week apart. Things were hot and dry last week, seriously difficult conditions for cattle and desperate for rain. One week and 130mm later, there’ll be some happy cattle (and pastoralists) about on Hillside Station!! #CycloneVeronica pic.twitter.com/HwzGz8hNbc

Mixed reports of rainfall from the Pilbara. @ABCoppin had 107mm at Yarrie, Brent Smoothy at Hillside got 130 (Shaw River pictured below), but Bonney Downs only 17 and Sylvania nil. Things are getting desperate for some places particularly inland ???????? ???? #CycloneVeronica #wanews pic.twitter.com/JNk7YCOu2s

We're seeing dangerous coastal impacts, destructive winds & heavy rain as Tropical #CycloneVeronica slowly crosses the #Pilbara coast. The slow movement of the cyclone means conditions will continue for a sustained period today & tomorrow https://t.co/4CwbJRpnuE ???? Paige Simmons pic.twitter.com/qkPZRHVaCb

Pilbara homes turned into temporary islands as #CycloneVeronica leaves plenty of rain in her wake. She’s now tracking west towards Karratha and expected to hit the town with a fair amount of rain. Thanks to Cameraman Marcus Alborn for taking this pics! @abcnews pic.twitter.com/X4gyJ2d6HJ
