Australia’s east coast is closely watching Tropical Cyclone Alfred, which has been churning and strengthening over the Coral Sea. Although the storm is expected to stay offshore for now, it’s still set to bring gusty winds, rising swells and hazardous surf conditions to Queensland’s heavily populated coastline in the coming days.

Forecasters remain uncertain about Alfred’s path beyond the weekend, but they are at least settled on its name. The storm was originally set to be called Anthony, but at the start of February, Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology moved to the next name on its predetermined list, potentially to avoid confusion with Anthony Norman Albanese, the country’s current prime minister.

The bureau routinely avoids using the names of prominent people to designate storms, a spokesperson said.

The cyclone season for the Australian region runs from November through the end of April. Cyclones can occur anywhere from the western coastline to the more populous eastern coast.

So far this season, eight tropical cyclones have formed in the region. The first to make landfall was Severe Tropical Cyclone Zelia, which struck northeast of Port Hedland, Western Australia,66br casino on February 14, with sustained wind speeds of 121 miles per hour. As Zelia approached, the port experienced damaging winds, but the storm rapidly weakened after landfall, losing its tropical intensity later that day.

Rainfall and flooding caused significant disruptions, prompting evacuations in remote communities. The De Grey River saw record-breaking flooding, whilst in Marble Bar the river peaked at 10.23 meters, around 2 meters higher than the previous record set in 1998. Multiple schools and highways were forced to close, and port trade was temporarily suspended.

A paper published Wednesday in the journal PLOS One posits that this mythic monster was inspired by local fossils of long extinct animals. The author of the study suggests that the Indigenous southern African people who painted the Horned Serpent panel, the San, developed paleontological knowledge about their region that predated the contemporary Western approach to studying creatures that disappeared millions of years ago.
