Reporting from the Daily News now, I'm Cory with the story with the latest in Adelaide. Tropical Cyclone Noreau has entered the Gulf of Carpentaria as a category two system with sustained winds of 110 kilometers per hour. I, gusts up to 155 kilometers per hour. It's tracking west toward the Northern Territories eastern top-end and could strengthen further before crossing the coast overnight Saturday or early Sunday morning. Meanwhile in Queensland, the cyclone may landfall on Friday and now crews are working to restore power while checking for damage across the North. All formal cyclone warnings there have been lifted. Heavy rains top 400 millimeters in spots on the Cape York Peninsula over the last couple of days splitting the region and flooding local areas. Folks in places like Waipa, Sagausti winds and downpours that push rivers to dramatic heights. One river jumped from three meters to nearly 20 meters in just a day, making it tough for teams to reach some spots and evaluate the full impact. Officials note the

worst weather has passed but rising waters remain the big concern today. As rainfall eases, recovery ramps up in Queensland with take shelter alerts still active in several coastal communities while the Northern Territory braces with warnings from the Hulland by westward.
