Totally unheard of, very nearly, because Brisbane doesn't get cyclones as a rule.
Saturday 8th of March, around midnight, Tropical Cyclone Alfred made landfall near Redcliffe.
There is widespread damage from Hervey Bay down to the Gold Coast and out as far as Toowoomba (up on a mountain range, and yet it flooded again).
The northern rivers of New South Wales also got hit.
I am currently flooded in, with my road cut in both directions.
It's a complete mess out there and we are still due torrential, and life threatening, rains today.
Most of the areas around here have been issued with Emergency Alert messages ranging from "watch and wait" to the one I got which read "too late to leave. Seek higher ground if possible".
Thing is - there's nowhere to go!
