More than 300,000 properties without strength as tropical benefits approaching the eastern coast in Australia, which led to heavy rains.

The classification of the Alfred storm was reduced from a hurricane to the lowest tropical level, but the local authorities warned that the threat posed it “was not over.”

Violent winds have already dropped trees and energy lines, as roads were immersed in low areas as the storm approaches land. Alfred is expected to hit the coast near Brisbane before moving in to the interior later on Saturday.

Tens of thousands of people were informed of the evacuation of the storm path, while others were urged to stay in their homes.

Four million people throughout Queensland and northern New South Wales are in the storm launch line, with dozens of weather warnings in both fields.

People in Brisbane, the capital of Queensland, went to bed on Friday, preparing for strong winds and heavy rains.

They woke up on Saturday to find out that the hurricane was reduced and that the city will escape from the worst weather.

“This emergency has not ended,” said Chris Mins, head of the State Council of State in New South Wales, adding that “it is very important” that the public does not reject the “storm.”

“We really do not care if it is reduced from a tropical hurricane to the weather,” he said.

The state’s emergency services commander, Stewart Fischer, warned that people were “satisfied” and said that the authorities in the region expect the floods to continue during the next few days.

As the storm approaches the land, nearly 1,000 schools were closed, public transportation and airports were closed. Optional surgeries have also been canceled.

Flights are not expected to resume until Sunday as soon as possible.

In Treasure Island Holiday Park in Gold Coast, north of Server Paradise, the gum tree fell between a cabin, destroying a third. In the vicinity, the boat was half immersed in a channel away from the beach.
