Foto de stock - EARTH Australia -- 19 Feb 2015 --Double whammy. . . This satellite data from the Terra and Aqua NASA satellite shows Tropical Cyclone Marcia (right) - which is now a Category 5 cyclone - and Tropical Cyclone Lam. Northern Australia was battered by two potent tropical cyclones within six hours on the same day in February 2015. Cyclone Lam made landfall on the north-central coast near Milingimbi (about 400 kilometers east of Darwin) around 2 a. m. Australian central time on February 19. Cyclone Marcia made landfall on the east coast of Queensland near Rockhampton and Yeppoon around 8 a. m. local time on February 19. At landfall, Lam had estimated wind speeds of approximately 165 kmph (105 mph); Marcia came ashore with winds of 205 kmph (125 mph). Marcia briefly reached category 5, only the sixth storm of that strength since records began. According to meteorologist and blogger Jeff Masters, few major cyclones have made it so far south (around latitude 22°S) down the Australian coast. -- Picture by Atlas Photo Archive/NASA.
