Cyclone Rona
Severe Tropical Cyclone Rona ( JTWC designation: 20P) and Severe Tropical Cyclone Frank (JTWC designation: 22P; RSMC Nadi designation: 16F) were a pair of tropical cyclones that affected Queensland and New Caledonia during the 1998–99 Australian region cyclone season and the 1998–99 South Pacific cyclone season.

The system rapidly intensified before making l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
