‘We don’t know what the weather will bring’: Queensland, NSW on edge
More than 200,000 homes remain without power and the threat of a tropical cyclone is not yet over despite the system being downgraded.
Ex-cyclone Alfred began moving as a tropical low from Queensland’s Bribie Island, across the coast, and inland towards the state’s southwest on Sunday.
The weakened storm still packs a punch, with the Brisbane region being battered by rain and strong wind gusts on Saturday night, including 100km/h recorded in Redcliffe and more than 70km/h at Brisbane Airport.
And there is more to come, as forecasters expect up to 700mm of rain and destructive gusts continuing through to Monday.
“We don’t know what the weather will bring, the system remains active,” Queensland Premier David Crisafulli said.
