Tropical Cyclone Lua has strengthened into a severe storm, before it’s expected to cross into Australia’s northwestern Pilbara region tomorrow, the world’s biggest source of seaborne iron ore.

Lua may bring winds of more than 200 kilometers an hour (124 miles) and heavy rain over the weekend, remaining severe through landfall, the Bureau of Meteorology said in a notice posted on its website at 12:17 p.m. local time.
