Tropical Cyclone Narelle made landfall on Western Australia's northwest coast Friday evening as a category two system, with destructive winds up to 250 km/h tearing roofs off homes, knocking out power to hundreds of properties, and forcing evacuations in coastal communities. The downgraded storm is forecast to move toward Perth, potentially bringing 50-100 millimeters of rain over the weekend that could cause flash flooding in the metro area.
