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. 💙
