Australia: Cyclone Alfred - Queensland and NSW Havoc


Listen Later

Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred brought significant disruption to Queensland and northern New South Wales, causing power outages, flooding, and structural damage. The storm led to numerous emergency calls, evacuations, and flood rescues, with warnings remaining despite the cyclone's downgrade. Areas north of Brisbane were expected to receive heavy rainfall, escalating the risk of flash flooding, while several dams overflowed. The Gold Coast faced infrastructure issues such as power cuts at a major hospital. Prime Minister Albanese announced financial aid for affected communities, acknowledging the potential for lasting mental health impacts. Lismore, recovering from previous floods, faced renewed threats, highlighting the need for long-term mitigation strategies.
