De cycloon heeft inmiddels 55 mensen om het leven gebracht:
In het zuidoosten van Indonesië worden na noodweer nog zeker veertig mensen vermist. Het dodental is opgelopen tot 55. Het noodweer wordt veroorzaakt door de orkaan Seroja die boven de Savoezee in de provincie Oost-Nusa Tenggara is ontstaan.
Op de eilanden rond deze zee traden rivieren als gevolg van zware regenval buiten hun oevers en deden zich aardverschuivingen voor. Bruggen stortten in en bomen waaiden om en blokkeerden de wegen. Honderden mensen moesten hun huizen verlaten. President Joko Widodo heeft nabestaanden van omgekomenen gecondoleerd en noodhulp beloofd.

MALAKA, Indonesia (Reuters) - Floods and landslides triggered by tropical cyclone Seroja in a cluster of islands in southeast Indonesia and East Timor have killed 113 people, with many still unaccounted for and thousands displaced, officials said on Monday.
At least 86 deaths were reported on several islands in Indonesia's West and East Nusa Tenggara provinces, while 71 others were missing, after the cyclone brought flash floods, landslides and strong winds amid heavy rain over the weekend, disaster agency BNPB said.

De orkaan Seroja, die eerder veel slachtoffers maakte in Indonesië en Oost-Timor, heeft in het westen van Australië aanzienlijke schade aangericht. Slachtoffers zijn er in het dunbevolkte gebied voor zover bekend niet gevallen.
Seroja kwam aan land als een orkaan van categorie 3, maar boven land nam hij in kracht af. Een brede strook ten noorden van de miljoenenstad Perth kreeg te maken met windstoten tot 170 kilometer per uur. Veel gebouwen, bomen en bovengrondse elektriciteitsleidingen waren niet bestand tegen het natuurgeweld.

Was quite the exciting night last night. Can't say I've experienced anything like those winds before. Turns out the loud bang we heard from the bathroom was in fact the whole roof of the house coming off. #Seroja pic.twitter.com/21bjWToHc8

Seroja came ashore as a Category 3 cyclone on the BoM's intensity scale; its intensity was equivalent to that of a Category 1 hurricane.

SYDNEY: Two small Western Australian towns suffered "widespread damage" when Cyclone Seroja struck part of the country that rarely experiences tropical storms, emergency services said Monday.
The storm, which devastated parts of Indonesia and East Timor last week, brought lashing rain and winds of up to 170 kilometres per hour (105 mph) to areas officials said had not seen a tropical cyclone in "decades."
Public broadcaster ABC reported 70 percent of structures in Kalbarri – home to about 1,500 people – had been damaged.
Local media images showed homes with their roofs ripped off and debris scattered across streets.
