The Australian state of Queensland is bracing for the arrival of Cyclone Ita, a category five storm set to hit its far north coast. The storm is expected to hit the Cape York peninsula late tomorrow night, bringing very destructive winds. It was expected to bring damaging waves to some low-lying areas, the Bureau of Meteorology said, and heavy rain could cause flooding. It is the strongest storm to hit since Cyclone Yasi, which struck in 2011.
