Australia is bracing to be hit by a second powerful cyclone in two days, as Cyclone Veronica bears down on the country's north-west coast.
SYDNEY — Australia was bracing Sunday to be hit by a second powerful cyclone in two days, as Cyclone Veronica bore down on the country’s northwest coast.
While that area is also lightly populated, residents were warned that because the cyclone was moving slowly — at just 8 kilometers per hour — they would likely have to shelter for several hours.With Trevor downgraded on Sunday to a tropical low pressure system as it moved inland, the more than 2,000 people evacuated from Northern Territory coastal areas in its path began moving back home.
Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster James Ashley said Veronica was unique because of its slow speed, which would bring a long danger period.
