I think Olwyn is the strongest cyclone to hit this part of Australia since Cyclone Vance in 1999.

The centre of Tropical Cyclone Olwyn is tracking very close to the coast and is just to the southeast of Denham.

This storm is one that will definitely see significant changes in post-analysis. Best guess for peak intensity was 95 kt, after it re-emerged over water from first landfall.
