Seems to be a LOT less fuss about this than you get when a hurricane
gets within a day or two of landfall in the US.

I like this matter-of-fact quote: "

Monica is expected to cross the Northern Territory coastline near
Milingimbi in the next 24 hours before heading towards Darwin.

The cyclone is forecast to weaken to category three by the time it
reaches the city on Tuesday afternoon, the spokesman said."

Only a cat three when it hits Darwin tomorrow (!)
