Cyclone Clare moves inland

Western

Australia's critical north-west resources region appears to have escaped major

damage from the passage of Tropical Cyclone Clare.

The

key industrial centres of Karratha and Dampier were hit by winds up to 195

kilometres per hour overnight as the category 3 cyclone struck the coast.

Clare

has been downgraded to a category 2 and is moving inland toward the town of Pannawonica.

Neil

Bennett from the Bureau of Meteorology says it is starting to ease.

" [There

are] still some strong winds in association with that and also a lot of

precipitation as well, so flooding is going to be a major issue I think for the

next two or three days, " he said.

Several

roads have already been blocked by floodwaters, but emergency crews have

reported only minor structural damage to buildings in Karratha and Dampier.

Power

remains out in some areas and phone services are still being reconnected.
