Madeleine West reveals she’s struggling with ‘fear and exhaustion’ as Cyclone Alfred devastation hits her  $4.6million Bryon Bay home

Madeleine West rung in International Women’s Day a little differently this year, flaunting her massive baby bump and sharing a moving message with her followers amid the devastation of Topical Cyclone Alfred.

The actress, 45, took to Instagram on Sunday to share a picture of her heavily pregnant belly while sharing a few words reflecting on ‘a rough few days’ braving the elements in Byron Bay.

Madeleine, who was dressed in a pink floral dress, captioned the post: ‘Seeking shelter and anticipating that this could be a repeat of the #2020 floods.’

Going through all the thoughts that crossed her mind, she wrote: ‘What would we be going home to? Would the house go under again?’

She went on: ‘No power, a fridge full of spoiled food. Fear. Exhaustion. An aching back from shifting valuables to safety.’

However, when thinking of the sad circumstances of this year’s International Women’s Day, Madeleine remembered that ‘so many women have it so so so much worse.’

Madeline owns a home in Suffolk Park, near Byron Bay, which she bought for for $4.6million in 2022 (pictured). Going through all the thoughts that crossed her mind, she wrote: ‘What would we be going home to? Would the house go under again?’

‘This International Women’s Day there were no long lunches here. No purple balloons. No dressing up. No inspiring keynote addresses,’ she wrote.

‘Just an incredible coalition of women, and men, doing everything and anything they can to help each other. I’m so grateful,’ she shared.

The Neighbours alum took to social media last week to express how ‘terrified’ she was of the impending Tropical Cyclone Alfred.

‘Just want to confess that, like many right now, I don’t feel brave, fearless or resilient. I feel small, concerned and a bit scared,’ she wrote on Instagram on Wednesday.

She also posted a throwback photo from March 2022 of her helping in the clean-up efforts of the devastating Northern NSW floods and captioned it with supportive words for her community.

‘Stay safe everyone. No matter what happens, we’ve done it before, we will do it again,’ she said.

‘As we wait to see what havoc Alfred wrecks, I’m sending buckets of love to everyone in SE QLD and NE NSW today.’

In a series of Instagram Stories, the AFL WAG offered a glimpse at her candle-lit Queensland mansion after the electricity went out on Sunday.

‘No water now. I think we’re in for the long haul here. Last nights weather seemed worse than what we’ve had the last few days’ she wrote.

‘The rain is so intense. Heavy and relentless. Check in on your mates… the clean up is gonna be a big one.

‘The positive about today – some shops are starting to open! So we can do a restock of essentials.’ 

In a second post, she panned around her backyard pool as winds whipped and rain poured down. 

‘We have honestly been so lucky. There is zero damage to our home, everyone we know and love is safe’ Jesinta wrote. 

‘But that isn’t everyone’s reality and there’s a lot of damage to so many homes.’

The day prior, the glamorous model, 33, shared a gallery of clips to social media on Friday night in which she revealed several of her family members were staying at their $8.75million mansion ahead of the cyclone striking.

The model shared a clip of the food on the dining table in their living room, which was now without electricity, and captioned it with some alarming words. 

‘We have eight extra family and friends who have been evacuated to our home to bunker down,’ Jesinta began.

She added they were having to improvise during meal times due to being without electricity. 

‘No power, TV being run off a generator (priorities ha) and pea and ham soup and homemade bread baked on the barbecue,’ she wrote. 

‘The wind is absolutely howling outside and the heavy rain has set in. Stay safe.’
