Topical Cyclone Kerry formed on January 6, 2005, near Fiji, and then began drifting westward toward Australia’s northeast coast. This image from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite shows Cyclone Kerry on January 9, 2005. Although the storm reached Category-3 strength at one point in its life cycle, by Wednesday, January 12, forecasters were reporting the storm had dropped to Category 1 status, and its westward progress had slowed. Although it was creating rough seas offshore, there was no immediate threat to the Queensland coast.
