Tropical Cyclone Linda has been downgraded to a subtropical low, but south-east Queensland residents are still bracing for gale-force winds, abnormally high tides and dangerous surf as the system continues to approach the coast.
Linda developed from a tropical low in the Coral Sea about 3:00pm AEST on Tuesday, despite the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) earlier saying a cyclone system was unlikely.
But by 10:00am on Wednesday, the BOM said Linda was no more.
Although the system is not expected to cross the coast, senior forecaster Rick Threlfall said it would still pack a punch.
