There were quite different individual reactions. For example:

  • Ignoring the warnings - many residents chose this option because there had been previous threats of cyclones, yet Darwin had not actually been hit by a cyclone for many years, and it was also Christmas Eve - surely they wouldn't be hit at Christmas?!
  • Heeding the warnings and taking the suggested precautions for securing items and preparing for loss of services, e.g. water, electricity.
  • Evacuating early, before the cyclone hit.

After the cyclone had hit, the general feeling was disbelief and shock. People were quickly evacuated, and a great many of them (who were mostly transient workers) never returned.
