Cyclone Seroja has caused extensive damage to WA farming properties in addition to towns close to the coast, while the rare path of the storm and its intensity has left a range of rebuilding and insurance challenges, a Sedgwick loss adjuster says.
Seroja tracked unusually south to make landfall on April 11 between Kalbarri and Geraldton, and unexpectedly held its intensity to hit as a category 3 cyclone, bringing the strongest winds to the region in more than 50 years.
