Homes across the town of Redcliffe in Australia’s eastern state of Queensland on Sunday (March 9) sustained damage and power cuts after Alfred, a downgraded tropical cyclone, brought strong winds and heavy rains.Local resident Brett Whitmore said that he and his family took cover in their house’s hallway as Alfred made landfall on Saturday (March 8) evening. A tree eventually fell on power lines just on the edge of the structure’s roof.&quot;We were sleeping in the hallway to try and stay out of any danger. And it wasn&#x27;t the most comfortable night&#x27;s sleep, but we&#x27;re just glad to be able to still be here and we weren&#x27;t hurt, so, yeah, it&#x27;s all good,” said Whitmore.Some 316,540 people were without power in Queensland&#x27;s southeast, where the Gold Coast city was the worst-hit area with more than 112,000 without power due to the storm system, energy distributor Energex said in a statement.The storm reached the Queensland coast on Saturday as a &quot;tropical low&quot; after 16 days as a cyclone, prompting preparations by millions of residents.<div>(Production: Jorge Nieto, Jill Gralow)</div>
