AUSTRALIA IS BRACING FOR A MONSTER STORM
Something powerful is now charging toward Western Australia.
A massive storm system is expected to unleash destructive winds over 75 mph, torrential rain, flash flooding, dangerous surf, and even the potential for tornadoes as it moves inland.
What makes this storm stand out is its intensity.
Some are calling it one of the strongest systems to impact the region in several years, with conditions expected to rapidly deteriorate as it reaches the coast.
Areas including Perth and much of southern Western Australia are now preparing for the worst.
