One man died in floodwaters, the authorities said, and over 330,000 customers were without power in South East Queensland.

Ex-tropical cyclone Alfred lingered off the south-east Australian coast on Saturday and forecasters said Brisbane is likely to miss the worst of the storm, a relief for millions of residents in the region who have been staying indoors.

Ex-TC Alfred is the first cyclone to hit southeast Queensland since ex-TC Zoe in 1974. Some footage of that event can be seen here, courtesy of David Hill’s father, who recorded the damage on the Gold Coast with his 8mm camera.

Australia’s east coast is closely watching Tropical Cyclone Alfred, which has been churning and strengthening over the Coral Sea. Although the storm is expected to stay offshore for now, it’s still set to bring gusty winds, rising swells and hazardous surf conditions to Queensland’s heavily populated coastline in the coming days.

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.
