Australia is experiencing several notable incidents across its regions. Tropical Cyclone Fina has intensified to a Category 4 system, moving southwest towards the northeast Kimberley coast. This weather event has significantly impacted the Northern Territory, causing power outages for over 19,000 homes and businesses, and generating a rare swell on Darwin beaches, where residents are now inspecting damage. The Northern Territory Chief Minister, Lia Finocchiaro, is providing ongoing updates regarding the cyclone's effects.
In a separate development, the Royal Darwin Hospital reported a four by four meter ceiling collapse. Despite the damage, hospital officials have stated that operations have returned to "business as usual." Additionally, a large fire continues to burn in Lefroy, situated in Tasmania's north-east, following its report yesterday afternoon.
