	Powerful storm heads for Australia's Northern Queensland
		Cyclone Ingrid, more powerful than Cyclone Tracy that destroyed the northern city of Darwin on Christmas Day 1974, was expected to slam into the Australian coast in 24 to 48 hours.
		Ingrid was 320 km (200 miles) northeast of Cooktown, population about 1,600, and travelling at eight kmh (five mph) towards the coast.
		Ingrid is a small cyclone with an eye of 20 km (12 miles) in diameter, around which the most destructive winds swirl, just like Cyclone Tracy which made a direct hit on Darwin.

	Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Summary March 2005
		The cyclone was located in a favorable environment with dual outflow channels and strengthened steadily, reaching severe tropical cyclone (i.e., hurricane) status with 65-kt winds by 2200 UTC on 10 March while located approximately 350 nm north-northwest of Onslow.
		Ingrid continued to be a very compact cyclone as it moved initially to the west-southwest and then on a southwesterly path at 7 kts in response to a weakening in the middle-level ridge to the south.
		However, unlike the earlier cyclones in the sequence, Rae was a short-lived storm that barely reached cyclone status, appearing to be merely a cyclonic wave left in the wake of its intense predecessor, Percy.

	Storm Capital of Australia!
		Tropical cyclone Ingrid formed as a tropical low in the eastern Arafura Sea and then strengthened to cyclone intensity in the Coral Sea then moved back towards the west into the Gulf of Carpentaria on the 10th.
		Ingrid rapidly intensified as it moved across the Gulf of Carpentaria reaching categrory 4 status on the 11th and category 5 status on the 12th when crossing Dysdale Island just north of Elcho Island.
		Due to Ingrid's longevity and proximity to the coast, many population centres in the Northern Territory were affected, however the effects were localised and confined mainly to island communities.

	Australian Bureau of Meteorology: Tropical Cyclone Ingrid
		It was unusual in that it is the only cyclone in recorded history to impact, as a severe tropical cyclone, on the coastline of three different States or Territories.
		Ingrid was a small cyclone in size, but very intense, not unlike Cyclone Tracy that devastated Darwin in 1974.
		The cyclone crossed Cape York Peninsula at a remote location, however at the coastal crossing point a substantial number of trees were defoliated, stripped of bark, and felled.

	EO Natural Hazards: Cyclone Ingrid
		Cyclone Ingrid was just below Category-5-strength status when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this image on March 8, 2005.
		Storms of this magnitude are unusual in the Coral Sea, according to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology; the last storm of this size to strike northern Queensland came ashore in 1918.
		Ingrid had winds of 240 kilometers per hour (150 mph) with gusts to 296 kph (184 mph), and was moving west at 8 kilometers per hour (5 mph) when this image was taken.

	USATODAY.com - Cyclone weakens as it heads for Australian Coast (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		BRISBANE, Australia (AFP) — Tropical Cyclone Ingrid, which is forecast to hit Australia's northeastern coast by Wednesday afternoon (U.S. time) has weakened to a 120 mph, Category 3 storm and could weaken further before hitting.
		At Cooktown airport, weather observer Terry Dukes said cyclones were a fact of life in Australia's tropical north and everyone was as prepared as they could be.
		The Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre said there was a possibility Ingrid could again intensify back to category five, but as a category 3 it remained as big a threat as Cyclone Tracy, which devastated the northern port of Darwin 30 years ago.

	Ingrid - Beast of a Hurricane - Heads for Great Barrier Reef
		Australia's worst cyclone in 30 years was tonight bearing down on the north Queensland coast as thousands of residents prepared for a double whammy of a massive king tide in the region.
		The worst cyclone on the east coast for more than a century formed in the Gulf of Carpentaria four days ago and had winds stronger than Darwin's Cyclone Tracy as it moved towards Cape Melville, the scene of Australia's most deadly cyclone in 1899.
		Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre Regional Director Jim Davidson said Cyclone Ingrid was half the size of Cyclone Tracy, but had a core twice as big.

	EO Natural Hazards: Cyclone Ingrid
		It is extremely rare for a powerful tropical cyclone to make landfall, weaken significantly, then later re-intensify back into a powerful storm again, but Cyclone Ingrid did just that.
		Ingrid continued to move due west, paralleling the coast and remaining over water.
		Ingrid finally came ashore on the northern coastline of Kimberley in Western Australia on the night of March 15 (local time) near Faraway Bay.
