A severe tropical cyclone hit northwestern Australia on Friday with the country's strongest sustained winds ever recorded. However, officials said cities and towns appeared to have escaped the worst of it. According to reports, Cyclone Ilsa was upgraded to a category five storm, the most powerful on the scale, just before making landfall near Pardoo, northeast of Perth.
