What we know about cyclone nearing Australian coast
Wednesday, 5 March 2025 Australians are preparing for a "very rare" cyclone to sweep across the east coast near Brisbane, the country's third most populated city.
Cyclone Alfred has weakened into a tropical low, but its impact remains severe across Queensland and NSW. Over 300,000 people are without power, and flood risks persist as heavy rain lashes Brisbane. The Bureau of Meteorology warns of flash flooding in nine locations in Queensland, while 11 areas in NSW remain under flood alerts. The Australian government has announced financial aid for affected residents. Meanwhile, a missing surfer in Western Australia is feared to have been attacked by a shark as search efforts continue near Wharton Beach.
