Tropical Cyclone Alfred Threatens Queensland with Heavy Rain and Strong Winds

Tropical Cyclone Alfred has intensified to a category 2 system and is expected to make landfall in Queensland, Australia. Authorities warn of potential flash flooding, strong winds, and up to a metre of rainfall in some areas. Brisbane has suspended all ferry services as a precaution, and officials are urging residents to prepare for severe weather conditions. This marks the first time in decades that south-east Queensland has been directly in the path of a tropical cyclone. Local leaders fear it could be the most significant storm to hit the Gold Coast since 1954.
