    Tens of thousands are without power as winds pick up in southeast Queensland and northeastern New South Wales, as Cyclone Alfred nears

    Tens of thousands are without power as winds pick up in southeast Queensland and northeastern New South Wales, as Cyclone Alfred nears


    The slow-moving storm is expected to reach the coast tonight or early tomorrow morning, with flash flooding and a dangerous storm surge expected.

    ABC Correspondent Bridget Brennan says winds exceeding 100 kilometres an hour have been recorded on the Gold Coast.

    She says in Queensland there's more than 20-thousand without power and its becoming too dangerous for crews to repair them.
