BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA - MARCH 07: A general view is seen of Brisbane from the Mount Coot-tha Summit Lookout on March 07, 2025 in Brisbane, Australia. Australia's east coast, particularly Queensland and northern New South Wales, is bracing for the impact of Tropical Cyclone Alfred, a rare Category 2 storm that is expected to make landfall between the Gold Coast and southern parts of the Wide Bay region. The cyclone is anticipated to bring damaging winds, heavy rainfall, and severe flooding, with millions of residents preparing for the worst-case scenario. Authorities have issued evacuation orders, distributed sandbags, and shut down airports and public transport in anticipation of the storm's arrival, which could be one of the most significant weather events in the region in decades.
