Cyclone Alfred is set to bring severe flooding to Australia’s east coast with landfall expected Thursday night or early Friday.
On average four cyclones hit Australia each year but what makes Alfred exceptionally rare is just how far south the storm is.

It is due to move across the border region between Queensland and New South Wales. Arguably the last similar cyclone to take such a route was Zoe way back in 1974.
Preparations are under way for the arrival of torrential rain which will cause flooding, damaging winds and battering waves with conditions set to deteriorate significantly over the next few days.
