Tropical Cyclone Alfred changes track towards the mainland, with damaging winds and heavy rainfall expected to be felt from tomorrow. Here's how Tuesday unfolded.

Significant damage and power outages are possible in the densely populated region of Queensland, where tropical cyclones impacts are not uncommon but direct landfalls are.

Although now classified as a tropical low, the effects of ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred have been felt most severely in the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Hervey Bay, and the Northern Rivers. Insurers have already received nearly 3,000 claims, a number expected to rise as residents return to assess the damage.

Ex-tropical cyclone Alfred, downgraded to a tropical low, has led to evacuations and power outages in southeastern Australia. Brisbane braces for impact with anticipated strong winds, heavy rain, and flooding.

A cyclone is heading for a densely populated part of Australia's coast for the first time in 50 years. Tropical Cyclone Alfred is expected to U-turn towards southeast Queensland, before crossing the coast later in the week.

Thousands of Queensland residents were left without power on Sunday after Cyclone Alfred, a downgraded tropical cyclone, caused widespread damage across the state.

Tropical Cyclone Alfred is nearing Australia's east coast. It could affect Queensland and New South Wales with strong winds, heavy rain, and flooding. The cyclone may make landfall between the Gold Coast and the Wide Bay region by late Friday or early Saturday.

Ex-tropical cyclone Alfred has officially reached the mainland in Queensland's south-east bringing with it intense winds and fears of flooding.
