Accumulated rainfall in excess of 200mm over western and central Pilbara caused widespread flooding. The Robe, Ashburton, Maitland, and Fortescue rivers were all in flood. Water was 3.9m over the spillway at the Harding River dam, exceeding the previous highest level of 2.8m during TC Steve in 2000.
