LIVE: Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred update from Qld Premier David Crisafulli | 9 News Australia

This wasn't a cyclone. It was an opportunistic political and media storm. The deluge of garbage dumped on the public was devastating.

I only just watched your last article on a tropical low 😂 give it a break already.

Just your usual heavy rainfall event here in Brisbane. My farts produce larger winds. Should never trust the media or BOM for this overhyped fear mongering and click bait.

OMG you are allowed to comment ? I think the Internet has broken

Thank you for your hard work in preparing and for encouraging QLDers to prepare. Thank God the damages have not been as high as expected. 😊❤

What a nothing burger. Media should be ashamed of themselves.

Great advice and care.
Always best to err on the side of caution with weather these days.

If you didn’t get much of an impact where you live, it’s because you got very lucky lol but go ahead and continue complaining about it in the comments

I think we might need a new vaccine against Cyclones, I’m sure it would be a good thing, every year!!!!! I am sure we’ll get plenty of people to get the shot and booster

Thank the Lord

About time Queensland found a good Premier. I like this guy.

What a total disgrace from the media, why should the weather people get payed.

Thank you, God, for protecting us and watching over us. We are truly grateful for your guidance and strength. Your presence gives us comfort and assurance as we navigate through difficult times. We appreciate your unwavering support and love, which shields us from harm. Thank you for always being our refuge and source of hope."

One can just imagine if we actually copped a Cat2 cyclone.

Media has beat this uo. Alfred has nothing on Yasi that hit fnq

breaking News!! LNP sets the record for the largest power outage in Queensland history!!! thank you Mr Cristafali!! and the LNP.😂😂😂😂😂😂

For those of you stating this was a non event, you weren't in Redland Bay where there are 2,000 of us with no homes as our homes have trees inside them and are flooded ( I'm one of them ).

About the floods> When that wall of water comes, so many will be blindsided. The water wall that hit our house in 1974 came down stream from the Brisbane River so fast, no one got out with anything but the shirts on our backs, 20 people died and within 12 hours our high set little Queenslander was under 6 metres of water. But what makes this coming flood worse than 1974 and 2011, is the rainfall this time higher, more frequent and and will be flushed back into low lying areas by high tides and surf. Also back then there was only 900,000 of us and now there's 3.5 million at risk, with high density housing, more storm water and more homes built in the catchment, so this makes this the worst flood event. I can tell you naysayers now criticizing the Premier that those of us that survived 1974 are not hanging around for this. I never left in 2011 or 22, but this time ? 10 days ago when I saw that rain plume on the map, I thought this is bad. I have told new people in the areas to get flood ready, bu they aren't interested. Boats couldn't rescue people because the water was traveling so fats and there was trees, cars and houses floating past at high speeds. Think before you criticize what we are going through and wait until Tuesday March 11, to post your opinion that this flood coming is a joke, thank you Premier for constantly updating us so we can plan. We weren't given that respect in 1974 when 20 drowned in the streets trying to escape. God bless
