Live from Southport: Australia's eastern coast is bracing for Tropical Cyclone Alfred’s landfall today, with dramatic scenes of roaring waves and flooded beaches flooding social media feeds. Thousands of residents in Brisbane and nearby areas were ordered to evacuate as authorities warned of ‘life-threatening’ conditions.
Queensland Premier David Crisafulli confirmed over 60,000 homes have lost power, calling it a ‘rapidly escalating crisis.’ Heavy rain and winds exceeding 120 km/h have disrupted airports, stranded travelers, and turned once-instagrammable beaches into danger zones. ‘This isn’t just a storm—it’s a wake-up call,’ one local tweeted as #CycloneAlfred trended globally.
Travelers, Take Note: Brisbane Airport suspended all flights, while emergency crews work around the clock. Tourism hotspots like the Gold Coast are under high alert—so much for those weekend surf plans!
Stay tuned for updates and follow local advisories. Our thoughts are with those in the storm’s path.
