Australians are preparing for a “very rare” cyclone to sweep the east coast near Brisbane, the third most populated city in the country.

Residents are told to prepare for the “significant risks” cyclone poses, which will be the first to strike the south-east of Queensland and northern South Wales for 51 years.

But what is a cyclone, what kind of threat does it represent and what is it?

What is a cyclone?

A tropical cyclone is a rapid rotary storm that starts on the tropical oceans, which can vary in speed, in size and intensity.

A storm begins to be called cyclone once it reaches maximum sustained winds of 74 MPH or more.

A cyclone is the same phenomenon as a typhoon or a hurricane, but they are mentioned differently depending on where they occur.

The term cyclone is used when storms occur in the South Pacific and the Indian Ocean. They are called typhoons when they appear in the northwest of the Pacific and as a hurricane when they appear in the North Atlantic, the North-North Pacific and the East of the North Pacific.

What kind of threat is the Alfred cyclone?

The cyclone was above the Pacific Ocean at 250 miles east of Brisbane and followed the West on Wednesday, with sustained winds near the center of 59 MPH and gusts up to 81 MPH.

It should cross the coast between the capital of the state of Queensland Brisbane and the tourist town of Gold Coast in the south late Thursday or early Friday.

Meteorologists have warned that destructive gusts of wind up to 96 MPH could develop from Thursday afternoon and that tropical cyclone Alfred should land as a rare category storm early Friday morning near Brisbane, the capital of Queensland.

Total precipitation could reach 80 cm (31.5 inch) in certain regions – more than the average total for Mars, Australia Bureau of Meteorology.

He warned that deadly floods are expected accordingly.

“Large swells and powerful waves have been observed along the Côte du Queensland for several days now with serious coastal erosion and floods,” said Matt Colloley, director of the Bureau of Meteorology.

“It will continue and will probably get worse as the system approaches and causes funds.

“The wave, the wind, the precipitation and in particular the storm wave have significant risks.”

What is done about it?

The weather warnings of cyclone Alfred extend over a coverage of more than 500 km (311 miles) across the coast in the States of Queensland and New South Wales, which concerns millions of people.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stressed the importance of preparatory work before the cyclone arrived.

He said that heaviness helicopters had been deployed and proposed to “provide the necessary resources” to the governments of the States.

The federal government claims that it provides the Queensland government 250,000 sandbags in more than 80,000 soldiers have already delivered, and some residents have been seen stacking them to protect the low properties.

Authorities urged residents of the subjugations subject to floods to evacuate Thursday morning at the latest, some had already done so.

Some schools in the affected areas had already closed on Wednesday, with more than closing Thursday.

Thursday and Friday, all schools in the affected areas will be closed, hospitals will not carry out non -urgent surgeries and public transport will not arise, said Queensland Prime Minister David Crisafulli.

Speaking on Wednesday, Mr. Crisafulli said that boats moored in the region would not be authorized to move without the authorization of the master of the port of Brisbane on Wednesday afternoon due to the danger of the cyclone.

“It is a very rare event for the southeast of Queensland, I recognize it, but I ask Queenslanders to take it seriously and I want you to know that we are taking it seriously,” he said.

“If you are in a storm tidal area or if you are in an area where you know there are river floods, you must really consider and think about your evacuation plan now,” he added.

A number of flights in the affected regions have been canceled and operators warned that more in the coming days.

Sports events have also been canceled – notably the Australian WPGA championship and two games from the Australian football league in Queensland.

Monday, a The adventurer had to be rescued by a warship In the sea of ​​coral at around 460 miles east of the Côte du Queensland after being taken in the winds of 50 MPH of the Cyclone.

The Lithuanian rower Aimas Mockus, 44, was in the last stages of his trip of 7,500 miles across the Pacific Ocean of the United States to Australia, which he started in a boat closed in October, when he failed for three days before being saved.

A brief history of cyclones

Cyclones are common in the tropical northern Queensland, but are rare in the temperate and densely populated southeast corner of the state of New South Wales.

The last cyclone to strike the south-east of Queensland and northern South Wales was the Zoe cyclone in March 1974.

He crossed the coast at the southern end of the Gold Coast on the border of New South Wales and caused many floods.

The last time a cyclone threatened Brisbane was in 1990, but the system followed the South just before reaching the city.

More than 1,900 disasters have been allocated to tropical cyclones worldwide since 1970, according to the World Meteorological Organization, resulting in more than 790,000 deaths and 1.4 million dollars in damages.
