Cyclone Thelma |

6-12
December, 1998
[ Track and Threat map ] [ Damage ] [ Images ] [ Radar ]
'Thelma' was one of the most intense tropical cyclones to be observed
off the Australian coast, although it caused relatively little damage.
Forming in the Arafura Sea north of the Northern Territory, it intensified
rapidly into a Category 5 cyclone and drifted to the southwest, passing
very near the Tiwi Islands and then across the Timor Sea before hitting
the north Kimberley coast.
