The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of Tropical Cyclone Imogen as it was approaching landfall in mainland northern Queensland on January 3.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Tropical Cyclone Imogen came ashore near the town or Karumba in northern Queensland, Australia shortly before 11:00 p.m. AEST (8:00 a.m. EST) in the evening of January 3, 2021, bringing heavy rain and flash flooding to the region.

According to local media, Imogen brought more than 260 mm (10.24 inches) of rain to Normanton, with a six-hour total of 186 mm (7.3 inches). Normanton is the administrative center of the Shire of Carpentaria in northern Queensland. About 1,400 houses were left without power, thanks to heavy wind gusts. Maximum sustained winds at landfall were reported as about 50 mph (80.5 km/h).

Once over land, Tropical Cyclone Imogen quickly weakened despite continuing to drench the region. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) issued the final advisory on Imogen at 1:00 a.m. AEST on January 4 (10:00 a.m. EST January 3) as the storm was dissipating over land.

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of Tropical Cyclone Imogen as it was approaching landfall in mainland northern Queensland on January 3. The eye sits just off Mornington Island, tracking southeastward towards Karumba.
