After the cyclone

The cyclone never really hit in full force, just storms and strong winds by the time Alfred reached land. And flooding.



I was surprised at Kingscliff how little damage there was, given the ferocity.









The coastal erosion was the most noticeable damage and some trees down.

Otherwise it was just excessive leaves on the ground and some roads flooded (& detours) were the only signs it had ever been rampaging through.

So Queensland was very lucky!


Hopefully this is not the start of Cyclone Season!

  2. I'm so glad the cyclone didn't cause more damage! I thought of you when I read that "Alfred" was rolling toward the mainland. I would have been doubly sad if this cyclone had been particularly destructive – because Alfred was my father's name and is also the name of my brother ...
    I really hope this isn't an unpleasant season for you!
    Today, among other things, you'll see blooming winter heather from me. Nature is finally getting going again, the birds are chirping, the first blossoms are appearing, I love it!
    All the best, Traude

  4. Good to hear, that the damage is not that big as one could think . As I heard that there´s a cyclone coming to Australia I thought of you.

  6. Let's hope that this cyclone was the last of the season. There was extensive damage and flooding in many parts of Queensland, even though Alfred diminished in ferocity before it hit. Thanks for hosting, Lydia.
