Thank you for joining us over the past nine days before, during and after Tropical Cyclone Alfred. 

From the sandbagging effort to the record swells and press conferences as Alfred approached the coast. 

To the rainfall, rescue efforts and warnings as water rose. 

We have appreciated all your contributions and comments along the way.  

While the blog is ending for now, we will continue to cover the event as the clean-up continues.

Jason and Deborah Johnson were rescued by the SES from their front porch at Nambour on Monday morning. 

The water reached 1.3 metres inside their home. 

"We've lost 90 per cent of the stuff in the house, from your cupboards to your kitchen drawers, your kitchen cupboards, to the bedroom cupboards, all the beds, the brand new couches, they've got to go," Mr Johnson says. 

The couple, who didn't have contents insurance, say they'll replace what they can, when they can.

They'll spend the next few days trying to salvage what's possible, and throwing out what can't be saved. 

"We're not rich people, so we will get there eventually," Mr Johnson says.

They're staying in temporary accommodation for the next few nights while their house is without power. 

Chris Ambury's mechanical workshop in West Ipswich will remain closed for the rest of the week to clean up the flood damage.

Energex estimates it could take until this Sunday to reconnect 551 customers in Logan Village, south of Brisbane.

Resident Jean Mann has been using a generator at her place since Thursday night.

"It is annoying because you've got to listen to a generator going all the time," she says.

The power is on at Ken and Pauline Coomber's home, but they haven't had phone or internet services for four days.

"We don't know what the reason is. Have the towers lost power? We don't know," Mr Coomber says.

Pauline says her elderly mother was extremely worried when she couldn't contact them and feared they'd been caught up in flooding.

Parts of Logan were hit by the deluge from ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred over the weekend, causing widespread road closures.

Logan Village grocery store owner Mohemod Alrecaby, whose shop was closed for three days, says access issues and major supply chain disruptions mean he can't get stock for his shop — particularly the staples.

"Your milk, your bread and your eggs, that's been the biggest challenge," Mr Alrecaby says.

"It's been hard financially in general but especially with this."

Mr Alrecaby said community members had been helping each other out with essentials like charging phones.

"Everyone here likes to work together," he says.

Rick Schulz, 69, has lived in the Lockyer Valley all his life, but says this was his first encounter with flooding at Laidley.

He runs the town’s hub at the Baptist Church, which was lucky to stand strong as floodwaters rushed by.

“I’ve lived in the area always but just been here for the last 12 months, but I hear this wasn’t as big as previous floods,” he says.

“We saw it on [social media], the flooding down the main street. I was pretty worried for people in the flood's path.

“It just avoided the top step here, and that’s about 600mm off the ground.”

“We know that in 2022 and 2011 it was the mud army, where that was the opportunity for people to help," Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner says. 

"Because we haven't seen the same level of mud come through and the same level of damage that occurred in 2022 or 2011, people have the same desire to help and so this is about channelling it into a place where help is needed.

“Many people have more than they can fit in their green-top bin or the boot of their car and there are plenty of utes out there and plenty of ute drivers who are keen to help.”

He says the council can connect people who need help with those who want to help.

"Going through local councillors, we're matching the need to where the support is and where the volunteers are, and making that connection, we can get things done," Mr Schrinner says.

Free green waste disposal is currently available at the Chandler, Ferny Grove, Nudgee and Willawong resource recovery centres.

The council's also opened two temporary green waste drop-off sites at the Mt Coot-tha carpark and White Hills Reserve.

James Marshall says his family are lucky to be uninjured after a giant pine tree crashed through their living room on Saturday night, taking out parts of the ceiling and carport.

Heavy rainfall entered the home in the Moreton Bay suburb of Lawton through gaps in the roofing, causing water damage to the timber floors.

One car remains trapped under the tree and Mr Marshall says the family are yet to receive assistance to remove it.

Mr Marshall says he has been unable to work while the family is staying in a hotel.

"We're kind of at a standstill until the tree can be removed and the power's switched back on," he says.

"We're pretty down in the dumps. We feel pretty vulnerable."

It's been a pretty scary time for many of those living in the path of dangerous weather, so BTN has been asking kids how they're going. 

Hear what Aussie kids have to say about how they prepared and what happened when their place was hit.

John Lindsay, owner of Lindsay’s Oysters, the last oyster grower on the Kalang River in Urunga, NSW, has revealed the impact of recent floods on his business.

Just a week before ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred hit, he'd inspected the oysters and found them to be "the plumpest ever for this part of the season".

However, the storm caused the oysters to lose condition and begin spawning.

"Even if the river clears fast, I don't see another harvest this season," Mr Lindsay said.

The operation, which produces about 30,000 dozen oysters annually, was up to 25,000 dozen this season before the flood hit.

This setback has led to significant financial losses, with Mr Lindsay estimating a drop in trade worth between $60,000 and $80,000 and it will also mean casual staff won't have employment for at least three weeks.

Despite these challenges, Mr Lindsay remains resilient after surviving previous floods during his 37 years as a producer.

"We've been pretty lucky really — we didn't get a flood last year or 23, 21 and 22 weren't real good — so we've had a good run but this last month would have been the cream to top it off," he said.

Still, he's taking it in stride.

 "Can't do much about it — that's life.”
