Cyclone Billy is the first of the season

Cyclone Billy crossed the Northern Territory coastline overnight. He's now a category 2, and was heading towards Wyndham.

Oh, don't you love global warming. Wonder how many we'll get in Queensland this wet season? Here's the cyclones off on the Queensland coast from 1970 to 2004.
