Australia Braces for Rare Cyclone on Eastern Coast

ai generated text

A tropical cyclone, named Tropical Cyclone Alfred, is predicted to hit the southeastern coast of Australia, specifically Queensland and New South Wales, early on Friday morning. The cyclone is forecasted to make landfall as a Category 2 storm near Brisbane, Australia's third-largest city, with approximately 2.5 million residents. This marks the first time a tropical cyclone of similar strength has affected the region since 1974.

    1. If you are in a storm tide zone or you're in an area where you know there is riverine flooding, you really need to consider and think about your evacuation plan now.
    2. There are areas where storm surge is the biggest problem, and then there's areas where high waves and coastal erosion and inundation from the sea directly due to the waves are a big problem. So, we've got a combination of all of that from Brisbane to the Northern Rivers (of NSW).

    1. This is a rare event – to have a tropical cyclone in an area that is not classified as part of the tropics, here in southeast Queensland and northern New South Wales (NSW).

    1. The Northern Rivers has gone through hell over the last few years. We're particularly concerned about some of those communities.

    1. We haven't seen anything quite like this for a good 50 years.
