Cyclone Alfred [View all]

All over bar the shouting, but landfall left a trail of destruction particularly in Hervey Bay which missed the winds but had an amazing amount of tropical rainfall in a few hours.

My sister lives there - she dealt with minor flooding yesterday, and is on the way to her shop this morning to assess the damage.

Few seconds into the video - kangaroos in floodwater - don't worry, they swim well!
