When Cyclone Alfred battered Australia's Queensland coast this week, a flurry of terrifying, powerful, and in some cases hilarious footage immediately erupted online. Storyful has gathered the very best on our Newswire. #TheStoryfulCut by Emma Robson and John Hall.

Queensland’s emergency crews had no time to waste today. As floodwaters swallowed Chevallum Road in Palmwoods, two men found themselves stranded atop their vehicles—surrounded by rising, churning water in the wake of Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred. Queensland Fire and Rescue’s swiftwater teams sprang into action. With drones guiding the way, they navigated the treacherous current, reaching the trapped men and bringing them to safety. It was just one of many rescues that morning, as teams worked tirelessly to evacuate residents across Ipswich, the Sunshine Coast, and Brisbane. #FloodRescue #EmergencyResponse #Queensland

En Mar del Plata, Argentina, una familia estaba disfrutando de un asado cuando, de repente, empezó a caer una lluvia torrencial y granizo del tamaño de pelotas de golf.

Armado con un paraguas y pura fuerza de voluntad, protegió las llamas de la implacable tormenta. #ClipoftheWeek

Powerful storms swept through the Midwest on March 4, bringing winds so intense they flipped semis like toy trucks. As Juan A. Neri drove, he noticed a truck’s rear tire lifting off the ground and started recording. Within seconds, the semi toppled onto its side and slid across the highway. It wasn’t the only one. Local reports confirmed 11 semis were blown off the road, alongside power outages and downed trees. A reminder that when nature takes over, even the biggest vehicles don’t stand a chance. #ExtremeWeather #ClipoftheWeek
