Residents across Goodna and Logan fear repeat of devastating 2022 floods as Cyclone Alfred looms

Helen Youngberry has only just been able to get back on her feet after her homeless charity was devastated by major flooding in south-east Queensland in 2022. The 2022 floods destroyed Goodna Street Life's motel rooms as well as foodbank. Resident Ash Barton said he was "lucky" his house didn't flood in 2022, but he's taking extra precautions this year. "While our coastal councils will bear the brunt of Tropical Cyclone Alfred, his destructive winds and heavy rain will certainly have an impact on Ipswich," she said. Helen Youngberry says Goodna Street Life might not survive another flood.
