Articles and videos about Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred exposes 130-year-old shipwreck in Australia on FOX 35 Orlando.

When ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred reached South-East Queensland last week, the damage and displacement was seen throughout the region, including at dozens of golf clubs and facilities. While the clean-up has been arduous, and, at many clubs, still on-going, golfers are officially back on the fairways at most of the affected locations.

But while authorities have been warning residents to stay indoors as Cyclone Alfred approaches, die-hard surfers have been throwing caution to the increasing wind. "This is what we look forward to," said Jeff Weatherall as he waited for a jet ski to pick him up from Kirra beach and carry him into the big waves.

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.

"Eligible workers and sole traders in Southeast Queensland and New South Wales who've lost income as a direct result of ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred will be able to access up to 13 weeks of income support," Albanese said in a media conference on Monday.

Cyclone Alfred struck the east coast of Australia late Friday, unleashing strong winds, rough surf and dangerous rip currents along popular beaches over the weekend. An estimated 10 to 15 inches fell around Brisbane and on Moreton Island during the storm.

Before and after pictures of Australia’s east coast show the true scale of devastation caused by Tropical Cyclone Alfred. What was once a paradise for surfers, with golden, sunlit sands, became a battleground as waves as high as ‘three or four-storey buildings’ slammed into the coastline.

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.
