All last week people were getting ready for the storm as it tracked towards southern Queensland and Northern New South Wales and on the weekend it made landfall.
Tropical Cyclone Alfred changes track towards the mainland, with damaging winds and heavy rainfall expected to be felt from tomorrow. Here's how Tuesday unfolded.
Katie Bunton shared a video of the scene of "apocalypse" at a supermarket in Australia as Tropical Cyclone Alfred approaches the country's east coast.
A man has disappeared in floodwater, people were ordered to evacuate homes as part of the Australian east coast was lashed by wind and rain ahead of its first tropical cyclone in 51 years.
The slow-moving tropical storm, named Alfred, is on track to bring dangerous winds and flooding along the coast of Queensland and New South Wales, including Brisbane.
