Tropical moisture associated
with a tropical low that weakened near the coast near 80 Mile Beach
in the Pilbara on the 3rd, interacted with a deep mid-latitude trough
resulting in heavy rain across the Goldfields, Eucla and Southeast
Coastal Districts. As a result, the South Coastal Highway west of
Esperance was cut with two bridges washed away, whilst preliminary
reports indicate that approximately 50 000 sheep died because of hypothermia
and drowning. Floodwaters also damaged fences, scoured top-soil and
inundated some properties. Bandy Creek boat harbour, east of Esperance,
was severely affected as floodwaters caused a weir to fail. Strong
winds downed power lines, and high tides and heavy surf caused beach
erosion. The storm surge was measured at 60cm. |
