Severe thunderstorms are expected to hit Kimberley, Pilbara, and the North Interior of Western Australia on Sunday afternoon, bringing the risk of flash flooding. Residents in towns like Telfer, Wallal Downs, Pardoo Roadhouse, Sandfire, and Shay Gap are advised to take immediate action to ensure their safety. The DFES has issued a storm warning, urging people to secure outdoor items and prepare emergency kits.
