FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Tropical Cyclone Grant is bringing winds up to 110 km/h to the Cobourg Peninsula in the Northern Territory and residents are being warned of dangerous storm tides when it crosses the coast.
The weather bureau says the cyclone, which formed early on Christmas morning, is expected to cross the Cobourg peninsula on Christmas night and move into the Van Diemen Gulf on Boxing Day.
Darwin is expected to escape its full force, but could still be hit by damaging winds.
Coastal residents on the north side of the Cobourg peninsula are warned to expect a dangerous storm tide as the cyclone centre crosses the coast, as well as damaging waves and dangerous flooding.
Cyclone Grant tracked easterly in the early hours of Sunday, assistant director of weather services with the Bureau of Meteorology, Alasdair Hainsworth, said.
Remote McCluer Island in the Arafura Sea received gale force winds gusting up to 76km/h, he said.
“It has been pretty wet and wild in that part of the world,” Mr Hainsworth said.
“It is reasonably good news for Darwin because it is tracking eastwards and the likelihood of gales (in Darwin) is diminished,” he told AAP.
He said forecasters were considering the possibility that Cyclone Grant might continue to drift eastwards without crossing back over water.
Under that scenario the cyclone could weaken considerably.
However, the Bureau of Meteorology said it was possible it could intensify, in which case destructive winds with gusts to 130km/h might develop on Sunday night.
Authorities have warned people in the Northern Territory’s Top End not to travel around after 6pm (CST) on Christmas Day, and to have cyclone kits ready in case of emergency but not to move to public emergency shelters until they are advised to do so.
However, residents west of Goulburn Island as far as Snake Bay on Melville Island have been urged to take shelter immediately.
