Cyclone Narelle devastates Exmouth with 250km/h winds

Cyclone Narelle has left the Western Australian tourist town of Exmouth isolated and flooded after battering it with 250km/h winds and dumping a year's worth of rain in a single day. Roofs were torn from buildings, power cut across coastal communities, and Chevron is scrambling to restart gas plants that were knocked offline by the storm. The town remains effectively cut off as of Sunday.
