Body found in floodwaters and troops injured in Australia storm | BBC News

Australian authorities say a body has been found in floodwaters and 13 military workers have been injured in a vehicle crash as wild weather from a tropical storm lashes the country's eastern coast.

Cyclone Alfred was downgraded to a tropical low on Saturday but is due to make landfall near the Queensland capital city of Brisbane soon.

Officials have warned residents to stay indoors and remain vigilant, saying the storm's threat is "not over".

Winds have brought down trees and power lines and flooded low-lying roads. More than 300,000 properties are without power in the region.
