Maelfu ya watu wamehama makazi yao katika mji wa Queensland Kaskazini Mashariki mwa Australia baada ya kimbunga kupiga eneo hilo.
Taarifa zinasema kuwa zaidi ya watu elfu tatu wamehama makazi yao huku wengine takriban elfu mbili wakishauriwa kufanya hivyo na mamlaka.
Mawimbi yanatarajiwa kusababisha upepo mkali na kuyafanya yaruke mita nane zaidi ya sasa. Kimbunga ‘Debbie’ kinatarajiwa kusababisha mafuriko katika baadhi ya sehemu za pwani ya nchi hiyo.

Cyclone Debbie: thousands of people have been evacuated as the storm cell closes in on north Queensland. It has been upgraded to a category 3 cyclone.
The Whitsundays are already being buffeted by gales, while abnormally high tides are expected south of Proserpine and 25,000 people in Mackay are being urged to evacutae over tidal surge fears.
The cyclone is expected to hit the coast as a Category 4 tropical cyclone (category 5 is the highest on the Bureau of Meteorology scale) just south of Bowen at 9am on Tuesday ahead of high tide at 9.44am.
Debbie is then expected to weaken to a Category 2 system about 5pm on Tuesday, after it passes an area near Collinsville and Bowen.
Queenslanders are being warned to brace for “a monster” by Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk as the cyclone continues to thunder towards the state’s northern coastline.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said authorities were “very concerned” about the potential surge in Mackay, which forecasters warn could be as high as 2.5 metres above the highest astronomical tide.
“This is probably the largest evacuation we’ve ever had to do,” she told Ten News. “This is going to be a monster of a cyclone.”
Police Commissioner Ian Stewart added: “Don’t wait until tomorrow because you will not be able to move probably past midnight tonight.”
The tide is also expected to peak at 3.2 metres in Bowen, with fears of a storm surge of three to four metres above that level. The Bureau of Meteorology has warned it will be the most severe storm to hit the state since 2011’s Cyclone Yasi.
