Tropical Cyclone Alfred was more than 6 months ago, but the bluesky feed is still active. It's used by SEQ power outages and still useful.
I'm amused, anyway.

The loss of 140,000 head of livestock due to western Queensland floods, as a result of #TCDianne on the other side of the country, *after* budget-denting #TCAlfred flooding in Queensland...yet little is said about impact on crop & meat availability that #ClimateEmergency will increasingly cause.

I wasn't planning to have such recent experience (#TCAlfred 🌀😅) but please do join Sally Butchers, Howard Pryor and Irereime Waqainabete to discuss the impact of natural disasters on the OR. (Please note timezone; Good Friday for most of Asia-Pacific).

She's looking a little thinner, but has put in a lot of energy to rebuild her long, vertical, conical web (I think she's a species of Argiope, but not sure which makes this shape) after #TCAlfred knocked it about.

Don’t think Queenslanders were overly impressed by Spud attending the Sydney fundraiser while they prepared for #TCAlfred either. Shades of Hawaii 🌺
FWIW “If a Federal Election were held now the ALP would be returned to Government with an increased majority with the ALP on 54.5% (up 3%) ahead of the L-NP Coalition on 45.5% (down 3%) on a two-party preferred basis, the latest Roy Morgan survey finds.” #auspol www.roymorgan.com/findings/984...
ALP increases two-party preferred lead after Cyclone Alfred and President Trump puts tariffs on Australia: ALP 54.5% cf. L-NP 45.5% - Roy Morgan Research
A Coalition Government, with a slim majority, would now win a Federal Election with an unchanged two-party preferred vote from a week ago: L-NP 52% cf. ALP 48%, the latest Roy Morgan survey finds.

An awesome afternoon at #netherworldarcade the best pub in #brisbane. Delayed #internationalwomensday event because #tcalfred. As a bonus the very talented Eloise Collins did an acoustic set! As a bonus bonus I got to play the Pulp Fiction #pinball

The Gold Coast got a beautiful beach & #Brisbane got sand islands off the coast which protected it from the #cyclone.
This is the first time that I've thought Brisbane got the better deal.

Large rafts of invasive fire ants seen floating in flood waters after Cyclone Alfred
Entire colonies filmed clinging on to debris, ready to make nests on dry ground in Queensland and beyond

One of a host of additional impacts and consequences of an extreme event. Alfred may have landed as a category 1 storm, but long term impacts should not be underestimated. The tail will be long

The economic cost of #TCAlfred could be $1 billion a day. Also: short term inflationary effect on food prices, and rising insurance premiums.

A very sobering update from Hervey Bay:
Bay Plaza in the Pialba CBD, which flooded extensively on Sunday morning, is set to be out of action for a month minimum.
Most, if not all, the smaller retailers there have no flood insurance.

Recovering from tropical cyclone Alfred! Started putting back in place everything brought inside or tied down. Also started cleaning out the pool which has inevitably collected a large crop of leaves and twigs.
Internet came back up this morning.

A massive THANK YOU to the very busy #SEQldEnergexTeams who got our power back on 2 days before expected🎉🎉🎉🎉
TC Alfred threw a lot at us in the Redlands.
Since Friday morning we've had only 5 hours of power.
With 2 kids, 10 &8, it's been hard going. But we got there!

Beach erosion after #TCAlfred looks bad. But the beaches will recover over time as the sand is transported back on shore by the wind and waves. Based off citizen science monitoring of beach’s through programs such as coastcam. Service continue to keep taking photos and contributing to the science.
Beloved beaches were washed offshore by Cyclone Alfred – but most of this sand will return
Huge volumes of sand have been swept offshore by Cyclone Alfred’s waves, leaving beaches and dunes looking very different.
