Closing schools and stopping public transportation for a hurricane from the Australian coast

Early winds and rains began with a rare tropical hurricane hitting parts of East Australia today, Thursday, while the authorities closed schools and stopped public transport.
The Meteorological Bureau, Matt Colop, said that the tropical hurricane Alfred, the coast of Queensland, is expected to cross somewhere between the Sunshine Coast and the city of Gold Coast to the south early Saturday.
Alfred is expected to become the first hurricane to cross the coast near Brisbin since Hurricane Zoe, who struck Gold Coast in 1974 and brought widespread floods.

Moderate climate

It is noteworthy that hurricanes are common in the tropical north of Queensland, but they are rare in the southeastern, moderate climate and high -population density in the state, which borders New South Wales.
There are more than four million people in the hurricane path.

Wind speed

Colop said that Alfred is 240 km east of Prespine and moving in the west today, Thursday, with winds of speed near the center, 95 km per hour and the speed of the woven is 130 km per hour.
Prime Minister Anthony Albaniz said 660 schools in Queensland, the south of the country, and 280 schools in New South Wales to the north, were closed today, Thursday, due to the aggravation of weather conditions.
