Description
Violent winds toppled trees and huge surf eroded beaches as a tropical cyclone inched towards Australia's eastern coast, swelling rivers, sparking evacuation orders and leaving 80,000 homes without electricity. By Friday afternoon, Tropical Cyclone Alfred was 125 kilometres (80 miles) east of Brisbane.
A damaged yacht washed ashore near the Gold Coast while a surf lifesaving watch tower fell into the ocean. Some locals have bunkered down while others have embraced the wet weather to mudslide down a hill. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
