Cyclone Alfred Poised to Strike Australia's Central East Coast as a Category 2 Storm

Cyclone Alfred is poised to unleash powerful winds and torrential rain upon Australia’s central east coast, making landfall later this week as a category 2 storm. This marks the first cyclone to target the area since Cyclone Zoe back in 1974. Although tropical storms are no strangers to Australia, they usually make their entry further to the north.

The BBC’s Katy Watson engaged with residents on the Gold Coast as they braced themselves for the coming storm’s impact, highlighting the community’s preparation efforts and concerns.
