Coastal communities are on alert as Tropical Cyclone Lincoln crosses between the Northern Territory (NT)-Queensland border and Port McArthur.

The category one storm is set to batter already rain-lashed cities and regions with more wild conditions, after making landfall on the Gulf of Carpentaria’s southwest coast about 6.30 pm on Feb. 16.
