Torrential rain from the remnants of Cyclone Alfred floods swathes of Australia’s east coast. Workers battle to restore power to more than 200,000 homes and businesses. Authorities issue a string of flood and severe weather warnings across a 400-kilometre stretch of coast. The wild weather has so far claimed at least one life, after a 61-year-old man’s four-wheel-drive pickup was swept off a bridge Friday in northern New South Wales. The man’s body was found the next day in a river near the city of Lismore, police said, and 13 soldiers were injured in a separate incident on the same day. The one person who is still in hospital is in a stable condition, and is expected to recover, Defence Minister Richard Marles said on Monday. He said all but one of the evacuation notices in the state had been lifted, he said. The storm dumped 30 centimetres (one foot) of rain in 24 hours over Queensland’s capital city of Brisbane, the bureau of meteorology said.
