Tropical Cyclone Ingrid landed in northwestern Australia on

Kalumburu. With highest sustained winds near 105 mph, the storm is
moving south-southwestward at 9 mph. Ingrid will weaken on a southward
heading during the next 24-48 hours, but heavy, flooding rainfall and
the threat of damaging winds will persist near its path.
