Noticias de ayer a última hora: (lo he traducido aproximadamente)

El ciclón Glenda, clasificado de categoría 4 y que ha desarrollado vientos que soplaban hasta 25O km/h, barrió la región antes de perder progresivamente su potencia. Ningún daño grave se contabilizó. Se habían evacuado varios centenares de personas alrededor de la ciudad de Karratha, el puerto y centro de negocios de la región. El ciclón se reclasificó en categoría 2 con vientos que llegaban hasta 150 km/h, según precisó la oficina meteorológica australiana. Los servicios de emergencia aún no estuvieron en condiciones de visitar a Onslow, una localidad rural de 800 habitantes afectada de pleno por el ciclón, pero indicaron no haber recibido ningún aviso por graves daños. El ciclón proseguía su curso en dirección del suroeste hacia el Océano Índico, indicó el instituto de meteorología, que informó que podría dañar las plantaciones de la región si se desviaba más ligeramente al oeste. Glenda es el segundo grave ciclón que afecta Australia en dos semanas después de Larry, un ciclón de categoría 5 (nivel máximo), que barrió las regiones tropicales del noreste, haciendo importantes daños pero no víctimas.
