What factors contribute to the severity and unusual nature of Cyclone Alfred's impact on southeastern Australia?

Cyclone Alfred's unusual path—a rare event for this region—is causing concern due to the high population density and lack of cyclone preparedness in the affected areas. The storm's potential impact on infrastructure, including homes and public transport, is substantial, given the predicted heavy rainfall (up to 800mm) and high wind gusts (up to 155km/h). The last time Brisbane experienced such a cyclone was in 1974, resulting in severe flooding.
