Tropical Cyclone Sandra

Tropical Cyclone Sandra was still a very strong storm, hovering at sea northwest of New Caledonia on Monday.

While far to the east of Australia, Sandra was helping to whip up rough surf and rip currents, which will be likely to last through at least Wednesday, along some Queensland beaches.

Sandra had begun to weaken after having peaked in strength on Sunday. However, its top winds were still near 100 mph on Monday, according to tropical cyclone forecasters in Fiji.

Over the weekend, Sandra had rapidly intensified; the storm's top sustained winds hit 125 mph with gusts nearing 155 mph.
