CYCLONE BILLY
Tropical Cyclone Billy made landfall in
Western Australia in late December 2008.
The storm was expected to bring heavy
rainfall and local flooding to parts of the
Kimberley Coast. On December 28, 2008, the
storm was downgraded to an ex-tropical
cyclone and was anticipated to pose no
further treat to the coastal communities of
Western Australia.

season. Snowfall that began December 14th
continued over a week later, piling up
nearly a foot of snow and approaching the
all-time records for the region.
