Claim 1: “The most powerful storm to hit Western Australia in 49 years has [occurred]”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While web search results mention a 'rare storm' pounding Western Australia and historical cyclones (Vance, George), none of the provided evidence specifically confirms that the current or a recent storm is the 'most powerful in 49 years'. The evidence is too general or refers to different historical events.
