Title : Cyclone Chris Hits Australia
Caption :
This false-color image shows Cyclone Chris shortly after it hit Australia's northwestern coast on February 6, 2002. (Please note that this scene has not been reprojected.) Cyclone Chris is one of the most powerful storms ever to hit Australia. Initially, the storm contained wind gusts of up to 200 km per hour (125 mph), but shortly after making landfall it weakened to a Category 4 storm. Meteorologists expect the cyclone to weaken quickly as it moves further inland.
