Tropical Cyclone Narelle is projected to make landfall in Far North Queensland on Friday as a Category 5 storm. The cyclone has intensified significantly, with wind gusts reported at 315 km/h.
The storm's development has been fueled by the warm waters of the Coral Sea, which have contributed to its rapid escalation in strength.
As the cyclone approaches the Queensland coast, infrastructure and operational readiness will be critical to mitigate potential impacts on local systems and services.
