What a strange looking system. Is this roughly equivalent to a 55kt tropical storm stateside?

Ex-Tropical Cyclone Dominic crossed the Pilbara coast near Onslow around 22Z.
Highest wind speed observed was a 10-minute mean wind of 53 knots gusting to 72
knots at Onslow airport. Observations in the area confirmed the system had very
small radii of storm and gale force winds.

Accumulated rainfall of 272mm was recorded at Onslow Airport, with similar
totals recorded offshore.


272 mm = 10.7 inches of rain.
