Tropical Cyclone Narelle has impacted parts of Far North Queensland, with reports of damage across the Cape York region. The system, which formed in the Coral Sea, brought strong winds and heavy rain to coastal communities.
Local reports indicate some residents sought shelter in unconventional places, including boats and shipping containers, as the cyclone approached. Emergency services have been responding to calls for assistance in the aftermath.
The cyclone has since weakened and moved away from the coast. Authorities are assessing the full extent of the damage and have urged residents to follow official safety advice.
