TL;DR

Severe Cyclone Ilsa is expected to make landfall in northwest Australia as a Category 5 storm, with potential for widespread damaging winds, storm surge of up to 10 feet, and rainfall of 4 to 10 inches. The area where it is expected to hit has a low population, but past storms of similar intensity have brought deadly storm surges. Inland flooding may become a chief concern as the storm continues dropping copious rainfall.
