If you are in the path of Storm Amy, treat it seriously: secure loose outdoor items, stay indoors away from windows, and monitor local warnings via the Bureau of Meteorology. This system is expected to bring damaging winds, heavy rain, and possible flash flooding across affected coastal areas.
What is the current track and intensity of Storm Amy?
Storm Amy is a tropical low currently tracking south-east over warm ocean waters. The Bureau of Meteorology expects it to intensify into a category-two system before making landfall late Wednesday or early Thursday. The main threat corridor stretches from the Kimberley coast down to the Pilbara, with gale-force winds gusting above 100 km/h and a dangerous storm surge along exposed beaches.
When will the worst weather hit, and how long will it last?
The most severe conditions are forecast between Wednesday evening and Thursday afternoon. Rainfall totals of 150–250 mm are possible in a 24-hour window, raising the risk of riverine and flash flooding. Conditions should ease from Friday as the system moves inland and weakens, though isolated heavy showers and gusty winds may linger into the weekend.
Should I evacuate if I live in the warning zone?
Check your local council and emergency services for evacuation orders. If you are in a low-lying area prone to flooding, or in a mobile home, it is wise to move to higher ground or a designated shelter before conditions deteriorate.
What should I pack if I need to leave quickly?
Prepare a grab-bag with water, non-perishable food, medications, a torch, spare batteries, important documents in a waterproof bag, and a phone charger. Include warm clothing and sturdy shoes, as roads may become blocked by debris.
Will flights and roads be affected?
Yes. Road closures are likely due to flooding and fallen trees. Regional airports may suspend operations during peak winds. Check your airline and the local road authority before travelling. Avoid unnecessary travel once warnings are issued.
